Summary

This document discusses the difference between the colligative properties of electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions. It explains how the properties of a solution depend on the amount of solute, not the nature of the solute. It also explains the concepts of vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, and freezing point depression.

Difference Between the Colligative Properties of Electrolyte and Colligative properties are physical properties of a solution that depends on the amount of a solute but not on the nature of the solute. This means similar amounts of completely different solutes our Colligative Properties vapor pressure lowering boiling point elevation freezing point depression osmotic pressure Electrolytes are substances that can form solutions that are able to conduct electricity through this solution. Such solutions are known as electrolytic solutions. Nonelectrolytes are substances that are not capable of forming electrolytic solutions. When an electrolyte is dissolved in a solvent such as water, the electrolyte separates into ions (or any other conductive species). Therefore, dissolving one mole of electrolyte always yields two When a nonvolatile (does not turn to vapor easily) solute is added to a liquid to form a solution, the vapor pressure above that solution decreases.
