Question

Which of the following is not a colligative property? a. osmotic pressure b. lattice energy c. vapor-pressure lowering d. boiling-point elevation e. freezing-point lowering

Answer 1

Answer:

b) lattice energy

Explanation:

A solution is said to have colligative property when the property depends on the solute present in the solution.

Colligative property depend upon on the solute particle or the ion concentration not on the identity of solute.

osmotic pressure, vapor pressure lowering , boiling point elevation and freezing point lowering all depend upon solute concentration so they will not have colligative property so, the answer remains option 'b' which is lattice energy.
