colligative properties

• Freezing point depression is a colligative property that occurs when the freezing point of a solvent decreases when a solute is added.
• Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane, driven by a difference in water potential.
• Boiling point elevation is another colligative property where the boiling point of a solution increases as more solute is added to it.
• Boiling Point Elevation is the increase in boiling point as more solute is added to a solvent.
• Freezing Point Depression is the decrease in freezing point as more solute is added to a solvent.
• Colligative Properties are physical changes that occur when the concentration or number of solute particles change.
• For example, water placed at a higher elevation or lower pressure will boil at a lower temperature than water at sea level.
• Water potential is defined as the tendency of water to move across a semi-permeable membrane into or out of a solution.
