Why is the molecular mass determined by measuring colligative property in case of some solutes is abnormal ?

A

Due to association or dissociation of solute molecules

B

Due to insolubility of solute molecules

C

Due to decomposition of solute molecules

D

Due to large size of solute molecules.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Due to association or dissociation of solute molecules there is a change in number of particles . Since colligative properties depend on number of particles there is a change in molecular mass.
