Colligative Properties

Question 1

properties that depend only on the number of solute particles in solution and not on the
nature of the solute particles

Answer 1

colligative properties

Question 2

What are the 4 types of colligative properties?

Answer 2

vapor-pressure lowering
boiling-point elevation
freezing-point depression
osmotic pressure

Question 3

the pressure exerted by the gas in equilibrium with a solid or liquid in a closed container at a given temperature

Answer 3

vapor pressure

Question 4

the tendency of particles to escape from the liquid (or solid)

Answer 4

vapor pressure

Question 5

If a solute is _________ (that is, it does not have a measurable vapor pressure), the vapor pressure of its solution is always __________ that of the pure solvent.

Answer 5

nonvolatile, less than

Question 6

the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid

Answer 6

boiling point

Question 7

When a _________ solute is dissolved in a solvent, the boiling point of the solution ____________.

Answer 7

non-volatile, increases

Question 8

the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid

Answer 8

freezing point

Question 9

The freezing point of a solution is _______ than that of the pure solvent.

Answer 9

lower

Question 10

the pressure required to stop solvent molecules from moving through a semipermeable membrane into a solution
with a higher concentration of solute

Answer 10

osmotic pressure
