«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.
