Colligative Properties FAQs
What are colligative properties class 12?
The colligative properties of the solution are the properties that are dependent on the number of solute added in the solution.
Why are colligative properties important?
Colligative Properties of any solution are important for studying various natural phenomenon and designing various apparatus.
Are colligative properties physical or chemical?
The physical changes that occurs when the solute particle is added to any solvent are called the colligative properties of the solution. These properties only depend of the number of mole of the solute but not on the nature of the solute particles.
What are the 4 colligative properties?
The Four colligative properties of the solution are,
- Elevation of Boiling point (boiling Point Elevation)
- Depression Freezing point (Freezing Point Depression)
- Lowering of Vapour Pressure
- Osmotic Pressure
On which factor Colligative Properties Depends?
Colligative Properties Depends on the number of solute particle present in the solution
Colligative Properties
Colligative Properties of any solution is the property of the solution that depends on the ratio of the total number of solute particles and the total number of solvent particles. Changing the moles or number of particles of solute or solvent changes the colligative properties of the solution. These colligative properties are not dependent on the chemical nature of the solute or solvent but are rather dependent on the number of solutes and solvent particles in the solution. These colligative properties depend on the number of particles in the solution rather than the nature of the solute and the solvent. These properties can be easily linked with the concentration of the solution, i.e. Molarity, Normality, and Molality.
