Colligative propertiesMediumQuestion 750005
Question
Colligative properties depend on:
- ANumber of solute particles (not their nature)Correct
- BChemical nature of solute
- CMass of solute
- DVolume of solution
Correct answer
Number of solute particles (not their nature)
Explanation
Colligative properties (vapour pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, osmotic pressure) depend only on the number (concentration) of dissolved particles, not on their chemical identity.
