As we learned in concept

Mathematical Expression of Depression in Freezing point -

\Delta T_{f}= K_{f}\: m
 

- wherein

m = molarity of solvent 

K_{f} = cryoscopic  constant

    molal depress const

Units = \frac{K-K_{g}}{mole}

 

 (\Delta T_{F})_{obs}=K_{F}\times m

                    = 1.86\times \frac{68.5}{1\times 342}

                    = 0.372^{o}C
