  1. Osmotic pressure
  2. Vapor pressure lowering
  3. Boiling point elevation
  4. Density

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is NOT a colligative property?
  • Step 1: Understand what colligative properties are. They are properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles in a solvent, not the type of particles.
  • Step 2: Identify common colligative properties. These include boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure.
  • Step 3: Look at the options given in the question. Determine which one does not fit the definition of a colligative property.
  • Step 4: Recognize that density is a physical property that depends on the mass and volume of a substance, not on the number of solute particles.
  • Step 5: Conclude that density is NOT a colligative property.
