Colligative properties of solutions include all of the following except .
A) the increase of reaction rates with increase in temperature
B) depression of vapor pressure upon addition of a solute to a solvent
C) depression of the freezing point of a solution upon addition of a solute to a solvent
D) an increase in the osmotic pressure of a solution upon the addition of more solute
E) elevation of the boiling point of a solution upon addition of a solute to a solvent

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The increase of reaction rates with increase in temperature is not a colligative property of solutions. Colligative properties depend only on the concentration of solute particles in a solution, not on the nature of the solute or solvent. The other options listed are examples of colligative properties.
