Question

Properties that depend on the concentration of a solute in a solution but not on the identity of the solute are _________ properties.

Answer 1

Answer:

Colligative properties

Explanation:

Colligative properties are those properties of a solution that depend only on the concentration of solute molecules or solute ions present in the solution but not on the identity of the solute.

The following are examples of colligative properties; vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure.

Colligative properties depend on the nature of the solvent and on the solution concentration but not on the identity of the solute.
