Question

The properties of solutions which depend upon the number of solute particles present in a definite amount of solvent and not on the chemical nature of solute are called ______ properties.

Answer 1

The properties of solutions which depend upon the number of solute particles present in a definite amount of solvent and not on the chemical nature of solute are called colligative properties.

Explanation:

Colligative properties are those that depend only on the number of solute particles (i.e., the concentration) in a given amount of solvent. They are independent of the type or nature of the solute.
