The presence of solutes in a solution alter the ability of solvent molecules to interact. This affects the ability of the solvent to go through phase changes. These are called colligative properties. The basic colligative properties are boiling point, freezing point, osmotic pressure, and vapor pressure.

What is the opposite of a colligative property?
The opposite of a colligative property is a property of a solution that depends upon the identity of the solute and not the concentration of the solute molecule or ions.
On which property of solutions does the concept of concentration rely?
The amount of solute relative to solvent is what determines concentration. Therefore, solute is the property of solutions on which the concept of concentration relies.
What is solvent property?
solvent property is basically talking about mixing the soluble and the solute together to get this solvent
What determines the properties a solution?
The most important property is the solute concentration.
When you dissolve a solute into water does the boiling point go up?
Yes. This is a known colligative property and the b.p. will go up by 0.52ºC for every molal concentration of solute times the number of particles in the solute (van't Hoff factor).
What property of a solution remains the same after it is diluted?
The number of moles of solute will not change. Too, the molarity of the solution decreases.
What colligative property best determine molecular mass of solute?
It is Osmotic Pressure..
The molal freezing point constant kf is a property of the solvent not the solute What does this say about the fact that freezing point depends on the amount of solute rather than solute's nature?

What is solubiuty?
Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution of the solute in the solvent.
What property of a particular solute towards a solvent is necessary for recrystallization to occur?
The coolness of the solution causes recrystallization. This is because the solute becomes solid at a higher temperature than the solvent.
Why is vapor-pressure lowering a colligative property?
It is directly proportional to the concentration of particles in a solution.
How can you distinguish a characteristic property of solubility?
densty, boiling point, solute solubility, flammability, and color in flame.
