alleryColligative properties depend on:
AMass of solute only
BTemperature only
CNature of solute
DNUMBER of solute particles, not their nature
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. NUMBER of solute particles, not their nature
Colligative properties (BP elevation, FP depression, osmotic pressure, vapour pressure lowering) depend only on the NUMBER of dissolved particles per unit solvent, not the chemical identity.
(Ionic solutes give more particles via dissociation.)
