Question

What are colligative properties? Name the common colligative properties.​

Answer 1

Answer:

These are the properties of dilute solutions which depend upon the number of solute particles irrespective of their nature. Some colligative properties are : relative lowering of vapour pressure, elevation in boiling point, depression in freezing point and osmotic pressure.

Answer 2

†Colligative Properties:

The properties of solution which depends on only the number of solute particles but not on the nature of solute are called colligative properties.

†Types of colligative properties:-

• Relative lowering of vapour pressure
• Elevation of boiling point
• Depression of freezing point
• Osmotic pressure

‡Note‡:

• Vapour pressure is not a Colligative property.
• (moles/molecules/ions/mole fraction)of solute particles and does not depend upon nature of solute particle.
