Solvent: substance doing the dissolving; present in larger amount. ? Solutes and solvents may be of any form of matter: solid, liquid or gas.
What are ligative properties of a solution?
It can be expressed in several ways. Colligative properties of a solution depend on only the total number of dissolved particles in solution, not on their chemical identity. Colligative properties include vapor pressure, boiling point, freezing point, and osmotic pressure.
What is the concentration of a solution?
The concentration of a solution is the quantity of solute in a given quantity of solution. It can be expressed in several ways. Colligative properties of a solution depend on only the total number of dissolved particles in solution, not on their chemical identity.
