{wiki=Cryoscopic_constant}
The cryoscopic constant, often denoted as \\( K_f \\), is a property of a solvent that describes how much the freezing point of the solvent decreases when a solute is dissolved in it. It's specifically used in the context of colligative properties, which are properties that depend on the number of solute particles in a given amount of solvent rather than the identity of the solute.
