The Colligative Properties
Multiple Choice
Which of the following is an example of a colligative property?
A
Viscosity
B
Color
C
Density
D
Boiling point elevation
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that colligative properties depend on the number of solute particles in a solvent, not on the type of particles.
Recall the common colligative properties: vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure.
Analyze each option: viscosity, color, and density are physical properties but do not depend solely on the number of solute particles.
Recognize that boiling point elevation is a classic colligative property because adding solute particles raises the boiling point of a solvent.
Conclude that boiling point elevation is the correct example of a colligative property among the given choices.
