colligative properties


Quick Reference

Properties that depend on the concentration of particles (molecules, ions, etc.) present in a solution, and not on the nature of the particles. Examples of colligative properties are osmotic pressure (see osmosis), lowering of vapour pressure, depression of freezing point, and elevation of boiling point.
