<pre wrap="">To calculate freezing points, for example for trial 1 of pure solvent, do we average all the temperatures for the freezing point? Or do we take the first temperature where it started to level off and use that?

<font face="serif">The freezing point is the temperature where the
two lines intersect. Look back at the figure at the bottom of the
lab procedures:<br>

<br>
and also take a look at the example on the class web page in the
LAB section. For each experiment you should have two lines that
intersect. The temperature at the intersection point is the
freezing point.<br>
