Statements: 1. Colligative properties are properties that depend on the number of solute particles in a solution. 2. Adding a solute to a solvent raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of the solvent. 3. Colligative properties include vapor pressure lowering and osmotic pressure. Select the correct statements:
Options
- A1 and 2 only
- B2 and 3 only
- C1, 2, and 3
- D1 and 3 only
Correct answer
C. 1, 2, and 3
Step-by-step solution
1. Colligative properties are properties that depend on the number of solute particles in a solution. - These properties depend on how many solute particles are present, not their type. 2. Adding a solute to a solvent raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point of the solvent. - The presence of solute disrupts the liquid structure, requiring more energy to boil and lowering the freezing point. 3. Colligative properties include vapor pressure lowering and osmotic pressure. - Examples of colligative proper
