What is the freezing point depression when #"85.3 g"# of oxygen is dissolved in #"1500 g"# of water? #K_f# for water at this temperature is #1.86^@ "C/m"#.

It would only be
See here for further verification.
The solubility of pure
At a low solubility like this, the maximum solubility of pure
#(69.52 cancel("mg O"_2))/cancel"L solution" xx cancel"1 L solution"/"1 kg water" xx "1 g"/(1000 cancel"mg")#
#~~# #"0.06952 g/kg water"#
(Here you have
So, the freezing point depression, given by...
#DeltaT_f = T_f - T_f^"*" = -iK_fm# ,where
#T_f# is the freezing point,#"*"# indicates pure solvent,#i# is the van't Hoff factor,#K_f# is given and#m# is the molality...is, for nonelectrolytes (where
#i = 1# ):
#color(blue)(DeltaT_f) = -(1)(1.86^@ "C"cdot"kg/mol")((0.06952 cancel"g")/"kg water")("1 mol"/(31.998 cancel("g O"_2)))#
#= color(blue)(-0.0040^@ "C")#
So you'd see hardly any change. You'd see a boatload of
