What effect does increasing the concentration of a dissolved solute have on each of the colligative properties?

If we increase the concentration of a dissolved solute, the solution would have a vapor pressure so much low, the boiling temperature for the solution will be so high, freezing point for the solution will be so much low and the osmotic pressure will be higher.

Colligative properties always depends on dissolved particles (solute)

Explanation:

These are the colligative properties

- Vapor pressure lowering

ΔP = P° . Xm

Vapor pressure of pure solvent - Vapor pressure of solution.

If we add more solute, it would raise the Xm, so the solution would have a vapor pressure so much low.

Vapor pressure pure solvent - Vapor pressure solution ↑ = P° . Xm ↑

- Boiling point elevation

ΔT = Kb . m

When we add more solute, we are increasing the molality.

↑T° boiling of solution - T° boiling pure solvent = Kf . m ↑

Boiling temperature for the solution will be so high.

- Freezing point depression

When we add more solute, we are increasing the molality.

ΔT = Kf . m

T° fussion of pure solvent - ↓T° fussion of solution = Kf . m↑

Freezing point for the solution will be so much low.

- Osmotic pressure

π = M . R . T

When we add solute, molarity is increasing. Therefore the osmotic pressure will be higher.

π↑ = M↑ . R . T
