Question

This experiment is more about understanding the colligative properties of a solution rather than the determination of the molar mass of a solid. what are colligative properties?

Answer 1

Colligative properties are properties of solutions that result from adding solute to a solvent and that depend on the concentration of solute particles, but independent of the identity of the solute molecules or ions. The four colligative properties are boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, osmotic pressure, and vapor pressure lowering.
