What is the main characteristic of colligative properties of solutions?
What is the main characteristic of colligative properties of solutions?
- They only apply to solutions with volatile solutes
- They are affected by the isotonic coefficient
- They depend only on the amount and nature of the solvent (correct)
- They depend on the chemical identity of the solute particles
According to Raoult's Law, what is the relationship between the partial vapor pressure of a solvent above a solution and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent?
According to Raoult's Law, what is the relationship between the partial vapor pressure of a solvent above a solution and the vapor pressure of the pure solvent?
- Psolution = P0 / Xsolvent
- Psolution = Xsolute P0
- Psolution = P0 - Xsolute
- Psolution = Xsolvent P0 (correct)
What is the effect of adding non-volatile solute particles to a solvent on the vapor pressure?
What is the effect of adding non-volatile solute particles to a solvent on the vapor pressure?
- It decreases the vapor pressure (correct)
- It causes the vapor pressure to remain constant
- It has no effect on the vapor pressure
- It increases the vapor pressure
