    If I had to guess, I would assume that there are different molecular lattices that sulfuric acid and water can form at different concentrations and that these different lattices have different freezing points. I will now go look it up.

      What you’re describing are different crystalline phases of pure compounds, but this does not give you new minima, you need some new compound to form for that
