    ∆T = imK

    ∆T = change in temp

    i = van't Hoff factor = 1 for glucose as it is a non electrolyte

    m = moles/kg solvent = 20.0 g x 1 mol/180g /0.500 kg = 0.222 m

    K = freezing pt constant for water = 1.86

    ∆T = (1)(0.222)(1.86) = 0.413 degrees

    freezing point of solution will be -0.413 degrees C (to 3 sig figs)
