Which of the following statements about colligative properties is FALSE?
A)The boiling point of a solution is increased by the addition of salt.
B)The freezing point of a solution is lowered by the addition of salt.
C)The change in temperature is proportional to the molality.
D)The identity of the solute is not a factor.
E)All of the above statements are true.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the statements provided are true regarding colligative properties. Colligative properties depend on the number of particles in a solution, not the identity of the solute, which is why the boiling point elevation and freezing point depression occur with the addition of a solute like salt, and these changes are indeed proportional to the molality of the solution.
