Chapter 11, Problem 27Q

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given true statement has to be identified and false statements are to be corrected.

Concept Introduction:

Colligative properties of a substance include the depression in the freezing point, elevation of boiling-point and osmotic pressure. These are dependant only on the number present and not based on the solute particles present in an ideal solution. These properties have a direct relationship to the solute particles, and therefore the colligative properties are useful for identifying the nature of solute particles and also calculating the molar masses of substances.
