646: 680: 31: 379:(It is thus allowable to say, as of now: In the multitude of cases, the lowering of the freezing point of a solvent depends only on the relation between the number of molecules of the dissolved substance and of the solvent; it is independent of the nature, number, arrangement of the atoms composing the dissolved molecules.) 377:"Il est donc permis de dire, dès à présent: Dans une multitude de cas, l'abaissement du point de congélation d'un dissolvant ne dépend que du rapport entre le nombres de molécules du corps dissous et du dissolvant; il est indépendant de la nature, du nombre, de l'arrangement des atomes qui composent les molécules dissoutes." 260:, due to a solute, showing that the decrease is proportional to the solute's molecular weight. This relationships holds best in the limiting case of a dilute solution. These two generalizations afforded a new method of determining the molecular weights of dissolved substances, and were utilized by 382:
In his next paper, Raoult specified (p. 1033) that in a solution containing one mole of solute per 100 moles of solvent, the freezing point is reduced by 0.62 °C, regardless of the nature of solute or solvent. See: F.-M. Raoult (1882)

of a substance be dissolved in 100 molecules of any given solvent, the temperature of solidification of the latter will be lowered by 0.63 °C. Another relation on which Raoult worked was that concerning the depression of a solvent's

Raoult's earliest researches were physical in character, being largely concerned with the phenomena of the 268:, among other chemists, in support of the hypothesis of electrolytic dissociation in solutions.

By 1889, Beckmann had developed a convenient apparatus for measuring the increase in the boiling points of solutions. See:
