Figure 2

The homogeneous ice nucleation temperature, TH and the melting temperature of ice, Tm, as a function of (a) mass fraction of water, Xaqu and (b) mass fraction of free water, Xf, for various aqueous solutions. For mixed solutions, the composition is specified either with the molar ratio of the solutes or the weight percentage of the minor solute. In (b), the dashed lines are added to emphasize the widen gap between TH andTm with increasing Xf.
