What is one of the major factors that affect a colligative property? Name one of the colligative properties and prove your position.
Colligative Properties are,
(1) Relative lowering of vapor pressure
(2) Elevation of boiling point
(3) Depression in freezing point
(4) Osmotic pressure
The main factor that affect colligative property is solubility.
Adding solute will increase the boiling point and also decreases the freezing point.
For example. water boils at 100 C, if u add salt to it then it boils greater than 100 C and also instead of freezing at 0 C, it freezes less than 0 oC .This is how the solubility affect the colligatve property.
