The properties of a solution differ from that of

the pure solvent.properties that depend solely
on the number of particles of solute present but
not on the kind and nature of solute are called
colligative properties.
 A.VAPOUR PRESSURE
 The fast moving molecules of a liquid
overcome their attractive forces and escape
into the gaseous state in a process called
vaporization. The vapor collides with the
walls of the container and gives rise to vapor
pressure.
 B.BOILING POINT ELAVATION
 The boiling point is the temperature at which
the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the
atmospheric pressure. If a liquid has a high
vapor pressure it means that the molecules
evaporate faster and it takes a shorter time to
equalize the vapor pressure of the liquid and
the atmospheric pressure.
 C.FREEZING POINT DEPRESSION
 The freezing point of a substance is the
temperature at which the solid and liquid
phases coexist and their vapor pressures are
the same.
 D.OSMOTIC PRESSURE
 Osmosis is the movement of solvent through
a semipermeable membrane from a region of
high concentration.
 A SEMIPERMEABLE MEMBRANE allows the
passage only of certain molecules.
