What do colligative properties depend on? a) the identity of the solute b) the number of particles present in the solution c) the quantity of solvent in the solution d) none of these

b) the number of particles present in the solution

Explanation: Colligative properties are the properties which depends on the amount or the number of particles.

Colligative properties include relative lowering in freezing point,elevation in boiling point, depression in freezing point and osmotic pressure.

= osmotic pressure

C= concentration  which depends on the amount or the moles of solute irrespective of its identity.

R= solution constant

T= temperature
