Which of the following is true about colligative properties?
a. They are chemical properties of a solution that change with addition of another substance.
b. The % change in the property is relative to the concentration of solute.
c. They depend on the identity of the solute in the solution.
d. The % change in the property is independent of the concentration of solute in a solution.
e. Solubility is an example of these properties.
The colligative properties of the solutions are the properties that depend only upon the number of solute particles per unit volume present in the solution.
A is not true as the colligative properties are physical properties and not chemical properties.
B is true as the colligative properties depend upon number of solute particles per unit volume of solution.
C is not true as the properties depend upon type of solute but number of solute particles.
D is not true as the properties depend upon concentration of solute.
E is not true as the colligative properties are only vapor pressure lowering , boiling point elevation ,freezing point depression and osmotic pressure.
