  4. They are only applicable to ionic compounds

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements about colligative properties is true?
Correct Answer: Colligative properties depend on the number of solute particles in a solution, not their identity.
  • Step 1: Understand what colligative properties are. They are properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles.
  • Step 2: Recognize that colligative properties do not depend on what the solute is, only how many particles are present.
  • Step 3: Identify examples of colligative properties, such as boiling point elevation and freezing point depression.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the true statement about colligative properties is that they depend on the number of solute particles, not their identity.
