The colligative property of a solution depends upon
Show Hint
- the number of particles of solute
- the nature of particles of solute
- the nature of particles of solvent
- the nature of particles of both solute and solvent
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Colligative properties (such as boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, osmotic pressure, and vapor pressure lowering) depend only on the number of solute particles, not their identity.
Step 2: These properties are a function of solute concentration, not the chemical nature of solute or solvent.
