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 solute affects the vapor pressure, boiling point, and freezing point of a solvent.
- Calculate changes in colligative properties for various solutions.
- Analyze the real-world applications of colligative properties, such as antifreeze and road salt.
