Concept:
When a non-volatile solute is added to a solvent, the vapour pressure of the solution decreases. This lowering of vapour pressure leads to several related properties known as colligative properties.
Colligative Properties:
Colligative properties are those properties of solutions that depend only on the number of solute particles present, not on their nature.
Examples of Colligative Properties:
Lowering of vapour pressure
Elevation of boiling point
Depression of freezing point
Osmotic pressure
All these properties arise due to the decrease in vapour pressure when solute is added.
