Which of the following is not an application of colligative properties?
A)adding silver to mercury to lower the vapor pressure of mercury
B)desalinating sea water by reverse osmosis
C)melting snow by application of salt
D)reduced boiling points of pure liquids at increased altitudes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Colligative properties depend on the number of particles in a solution and include phenomena such as boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure. D) Reduced boiling points of pure liquids at increased altitudes is not a result of a solution's colligative properties but rather due to the decreased atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes.
