write the Collgative properties of electrolytes
Answers
Answer:
Solutions of nonelectrolytes in water exhibit colligative properties as described in the preceeding sections. These solutions also give, for the dissolved substances, the molar masses expected from their chemical formulae.
The study of colligative properties of electrolytes, however, require a different approach than used for colligative properties of nonelectrolytes. Following are the experimental observations for the colligative behavior of electrolytes.
i. The solutions of elctrolytes also exhibit colligative properties which do not obey the relations of nonelectrolytes.
ii. The colligative properties of the solutions of electrolytes are greater than those to be expected for solutions of nonelectrolytes of the same concentration.
iii. The molar masses of electrolytes in aqueous solutions determined by colligative properties are found to be considerably lower than the formula masses.
