Colligative Properties of a Solution

Colligative Properties of a Solution

Introduction

In chemistry, a colligativa property is a property of the solutions that depends only on the number of distinct particles - molecules, ions or supramolecular aggregates - that make up the solution and not by the nature of the particles themselves. [1] When adding a solute nonvolatile a solvent, the physical properties of the solution that is formed are different from those of the pure solvent. Some properties, for example the density and the pH depend not only on the concentration of the solute particles, also on the nature of the components of ...
