Colligative Properties
Colligative Properties are properties that depend on the number of solute particles dissolved in a given
quantity
I. Boiling Point Elevation
is the increase of boiling point of solution due to increase of solutes
Solvents are directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solute.
Depends on Molality
Formula: ∆ Tb = Kbm
Where Molality equals:
Mass in Grams
Kilogram of
m = Solvent
Molecular weight
Mass in Grams
∆ Tb = Kb
Kilogram of Solvent
Molecular weight
Where: ∆Tb = Boiling Point Elevation
Kb = Constant Boiling Point
m = molal concentration
∆ = delta/rise
∆Tb= Tb solution – Tb Solvent

II. Freezing Point Depression
Is he decrease in freezing point due to the presence of solute
Solvents are directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solute.
Represented by ∆Tf
Formula: ∆ Tf= Kfm
Where Molality equals:

III. Osmotic Pressure – is directly proportional on molar conc. of a solution at absolute temperature
Osmosis – the push or the movement of solvent through a semipermeable membrane
Semipermeable Membrane – a thick membrane that surrounds every cells
Related to the ideal gas law, PV=nRT
The greater the conc. the higher the osmotic pressure
Where: PV=nRT
P= (n/V) RT Since Molarity = n/V
Formula: P=MRT
Therefore ∏= MRT
Where: ∏ = osmotic pressure M= Molarity
R= gas constant at 0.08025 atm*mol/L*K T= absolute temp in K
IV. Vapor Pressure Lowering
Measures the tendency of a liquid to vaporize or to become gaseous
Equal to the mole fraction of solvent multiplied by the vapor pressure of pure solvent
Represented by P
Formula: P=P0MF solvent
Where: P = vapor pressure lowering
Po = vapor pressure of pure solvent MF = mole fraction of solvent
Since:
P=P0
