Colligative Properties Quiz

Boiling Point and Non-Volatile Solutes

• When a non-volatile solute is added to a solution, the boiling point increases.
• This is because the solute particles disrupt the formation of vapor, making it harder for the solution to boil.

Factors Affecting Colligative Properties

• The concentration of the solute is the primary factor that affects colligative properties.
• The following factors do not affect colligative properties:
  • The nature of the solute
  • The nature of the solvent

Vapor Pressure Lowering

• The primary reason for the lowering of vapor pressure in a solution is the dissolution of the solute particles.
• These particles disrupt the formation of vapor, resulting in a decrease in vapor pressure.

Colligative Properties

• A colligative property is a property that depends on the number of solute particles, not their nature.
• Examples of colligative properties include:
  • Boiling point elevation
  • Freezing point depression
  • Osmotic pressure
  • Vapor pressure lowering
