doubled.
To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of molal depression constant The molal depression constant is a property of the solvent and is defined as the depression in freezing point per unit molality.The formula for freezing point depression is:where is the depression in freezing point, is the molal depression constant, and is the molality of the solution.From the formula, it is clear that is independent of the molality of the solution.Therefore, if the molality of the dilute solution is doubled, the value of the molal depression constant will remain unchanged.Thus, the correct option is Option 3: unchanged.
