Freezing Point

[AK28]

Find the freezing point of a 2.0m solution of CH3OH in chloroform, CHCl3. The normal freezing point of chloroform is -63.5°C. The kf for chloroform is 4.7°C/m.

Why wouldn't this be (-63.5 - (4.7x2x2))??

Wouldn't the methanol dissolve in Chloroform since they are both polar and like dissolves like?

Methanol won't diassociate even if it dissolves. Van HOFF factor for organic compounds like alcohols sugars etc is 1.
