Types of Colligative Properties
There are in general four types of the collugative properties of any solution that are mentioned below
- Lowering Of Vapour Pressure
- Elevation in Boiling Point (Boiling Point Elevation)
- Depression in Freezing Point (Freezing Point Depression)
- Osmotic Pressure.
Now let’s learn about them in detail.
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.
In this article, we will learn about, various types of Colligative properties of the solution, their examples, and others in detail.
