Colligative Properties
Students will investigate how the presence of a solute affects the physical properties of a solvent.
Key Questions
- Explain how the addition of a nonvolatile solute affects the boiling point and freezing point of a solvent.
- Analyze the relationship between the concentration of a solute and the magnitude of colligative property changes.
- Predict the effect of different solutes on the colligative properties of water.
