Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Colligative properties such as boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, vapor pressure lowering, and osmotic pressure depend only on the relative numbers of solute and solvent particles in a solution, regardless of their identities or properties. This is because these properties are related to the concentration of the solute particles rather than their specific nature.
