Interpretation:
The osmotic pressure, freezing point, and boiling point of seawater are to be estimated. The value of
Concept introduction:
Colligative properties are those properties of a material that depends on the number of particles of the substance present in material. The colligative properties are lowering of vapor pressure, elevation in boiling point, depression in freezing point and osmotic pressure.
Answer to Problem 7.72E
The osmotic pressure, freezing point, and boiling point of seawater are
Explanation of Solution
