«cryoscopie» : Étude des lois de la congélation des solutions. La dissolution d’un corps dans un solvant abaisse en général la température de congélation de ce solvant. Par exemple, l'eau salée reste liquide, à la pression ordinaire à une température inférieure à 0 °C. [...] La mesure de l'abaissement cryoscopique permet donc la détermination des masses molaires des corps solubles dans des solvants connus. 1, record 2, French, - abaissement%20cryoscopique

«Cryochoc» : Terme proposé sur le modèle de «cryométrie», «cryoscopie», «cryothérapie» [...] relevés dans le Petit Robert. Le préfixe «cryo-»vient du grec et signifie «froid». 1, record 3, French, - choc%20thermique%20froid
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Le terme «choc frigorifique», que nous avons aussi vu sur une fiche Termium, nous semble inapproprié. L’adjectif «frigorifique», en effet, signifie «qui sert à produire le froid», en parlant d’une machine ou d’une installation quelconque. Cela ne s’applique pas ici. 1, record 3, French, - choc%20thermique%20froid
