Colligative Properties

Compreshension -I The experimental values of colligative properties of many solutes in solution resembles calculated value of colligative properties. However in same cases, the experimental value of colligative property differ widely than those obtained by calculation. Such experimental values of colligative properties are known as Abnormal values of colligative properties are : (i) Dissociation of solute : It increases the colligative properties. (ii) Association of solute : It decreases the colligative properties e.g. : Dimerisation of acetic acid in benzene If degree of dissociation of an electrolyte A_(2)B_(3) is 25% in a solvent, then
