Which of the following statements is true regarding colligative properties?
  1. They depend on the identity of the solute
  2. They depend on the concentration of the solute
  3. They depend on the nature of the solvent
  4. They depend on the number of solute particles

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true regarding colligative properties?
  • Step 1: Understand what colligative properties are. They are properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles in a solvent.
  • Step 2: Recognize that colligative properties include boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure.
  • Step 3: Note that these properties do not depend on what the solute is (its identity), but only on how many particles are present in the solution.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the true statement about colligative properties is that they depend on the number of solute particles, not their identity.
