Some applications of real life colligative properties are osmotic pressure, freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and vapor pressure lowering. For osmotic pressure an example is turgor pressure in plants. For freezing point depression an example is antifreeze in the radiator. For boiling point elevation there really isn't any practical applications. For vapor pressure lowering an example is freeze drying.

Drinking seawater is bad due to osmotic pressure effects. In fact, many biological functions are based on osmotic pressure.

Using salt in the streets for de-icing or ethylene glycol in cars radiators takes advantage of the cryoscopic depression effect.

Interesting sugar confectionery can be done using using highly concentrated solutions of sugar due to boiling point elevation effects.

are properties that depend on the amount of solute particles but not on the kind of solute....these are...vapor pressure lowering...that explains why solution evaporates slower than pure water....boiling point elevation...explains why it takes time to boil solution than to boil water and the reason behind why it hurts more to get burn from hot syrup than from hot water....freezing point depression that tells why it takes time for the juice to freeze than to freeze water to ice.and lastly, osmosis..the movement of solvent from region of low concentration to the region of high concentration..this explains about fish dries up faster when you rubbed salt on it..and why it is not safe to drink seawater.........thanks...i hope this will help.

Basically, colligative properties are important in our everyday living because of osmotic pressure that osmosis gives and bring up the elevation of plaque. And these are the patriotism created and make the world go round.

Three examples would be freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and change in osmotic pressure.
