How does nickel make stainless steel not magnetic?.

The nickel, itself ferromagnetic, reduces the magnetism in stainless steel but not to zero. Austenitic stainless steel is defined as the steel crystal structure that is face centered cubic which is the same structure hot iron has as one of the allotropes of iron. Nickel above a certain percentage (18) stabilizes austenite structure just as if you took carbon steel and heated it above 730–770 C. Above this temperature the structure is FCC and above the Currie temperature where magnetism is killed due to the isotopic symmetry of the structure. However, you can still get a small magnetic attraction from austenitic stainless steel if it is cold worked, heat treated a certain way or welded. So it is not a guarantee that austenitic stainless is totally non magnetic.

Dvinal [7]

A solution (in this experiment solution of NaNO₃) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water). The higher the solute concentration (sodium nitrate), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.
Equation describing the change in freezing point:
ΔT = Kf · b · i.
ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.
Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.
b - molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).
i - Van’t Hoff Factor.
First measure freezing point of pure solvent (deionized water). Than make solutions of NaNO₃ with different molality and measure separately their freezing points. Use equation to calculate Kf.
