115. Why do colligative properties of an electrolyte solution of a given concentration are found to be larger than those of a non-electrolyte solution of the same concentration?


Answer:

The colligative properties of solution depend on the total number of solute particles present in solution. Since the electrolytes ionise and give more than one particle per formula unit in solution, the colligative effect of an electrolyte solution is always greater than that of a non-electrolyte of the same molar concentration.

Discrepancies arise when solute particles are present in either associated or in the dissociated form. Consider benzoic acid molecules present as dimers in C
6H6. The number of solute particles is half, therefore value of Tfor benzoic acid (dissolved in benzene) would be half the normal value. During dissociation of NaCl into Na+ and CI–1 ions in aqueous solution, presence of twice the number of ions cause a doubling of depression/elevation (AT) of freezing/boiling point.
