If the solution is treated as an ideal solution, the extent of freezing point depression depends only on the solute concentration that can be estimated by a simple linear relationship with the cryoscopic constant ("Blagden's Law"): ΔT = i∙b∙Kf where ΔT is temperature depression, i is the van 't Hoff factor, b is the molality (mol solute per kg of solvent), Kf is the cryoscopic constant. According to this formula, the freezing point depression linearly increases with increase of the solute concentration.
