Question

Fundamentally, which of the following physical statements best explains why certain properties of a solution are strictly defined as "colligative"?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

By strict definition, colligative properties (from Latin *colligatus*, meaning bound together) are macroscopic properties of solutions that depend entirely on the ratio of the number of solute particles to the number of solvent molecules in a solution, and not on the detailed chemical identity, structure, or size of the solute.
