Answer:

The freezing point of the water with the added potassium is 24 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

To find the freezing point of the water with the added potassium, you need to subtract 8 degrees from the initial freezing point of water, This is because you know that after adding potassium to water, the freezing point went down by 8 degrees Fahrenheit. So you need to subtract 8 degrees from the initial freezing point of water (32 degrees Fahrenheit). 32º F - 8º = 24º F. So the freezing point of the water with the added potassium is 24 degrees Fahrenheit.
