what are colligative properties? Write the name of colligative properties
Answers
Answer:
Dilute solution containing non-volatile solute exhibit some properties which depend only on the number of solute particles present and not on the type of solute present. These properties are called colligative properties. These properties are mostly seen in dilute solutions.
We can further consider colligative properties as those properties that are obtained by the dissolution of a non-volatile solute in a volatile solvent. Generally, the solvent properties are changed by the solute where its particles remove some of the solvent molecules in the liquid phase. This also results in the reduction of the concentration of the solvent.
Meanwhile, when we talk about the given solute-solvent mass ratio, colligative properties are said to be inversely proportional to the solute molar mass.
