What Does FPD Stand For?
FPD stands for Freezing Point Depression
FPD, or Freezing Point Depression, refers to the lowering of the freezing point of a solvent when a solute is added. This phenomenon occurs because the presence of solute particles disrupts the formation of a solid structure in the solvent, requiring a lower temperature to reach the freezing state. FPD is an important concept in fields such as chemistry and materials science, as it has practical applications in areas like cryopreservation, antifreeze formulation, and understanding colligative properties of solutions.
