5 Questions
How is the freezing point of a solvent affected when a solute is added to form a solution?
It is depressed
What is the term used to describe the decrease in vapor pressure of a solution when a non-volatile solute is added to a volatile solvent?
Relative lowering of vapor pressure
What is the term for the pressure that needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of solvent across a semipermeable membrane?
Osmotic pressure
What happens to the boiling point of a solvent when a solute is added to it to form a solution?
It is elevated
What are properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles and are called colligative properties?
Relative lowering of vapor pressure, depression of freezing point, elevation of boiling point, and osmotic pressure
Learn about the properties of solutions that are interconnected with the decrease in vapour pressure when a non-volatile solute is added to a volatile solvent. These properties include relative lowering of vapour pressure, depression of freezing point, elevation of boiling point, and osmotic pressure.
