Case based question:-
Properties such as boiling point ,freezing point and vapour pressure of a
pure solvent change when solute molecules are added to get homogeneous
solution.These are called colligative properties.Application of colligative
properties are very useful in day to day life.Osmotic pressure is another
colligative property.Osmosis is very common phenomenon which we observe in
nature or at home.The process of osmosis can be reversed by a change in
pressure on the solution side.
