WHAT DOES COLLIGATIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Colligative properties

In chemistry, colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend upon the ratio of the number of solute particles to the number of solvent molecules in a solution, and not on the type of chemical species present. This number ratio can be related to the various units for concentration of solutions. Here we shall only consider those properties which result because of the dissolution of nonvolatile solute in a volatile liquid solvent. They are independent of the nature of the solute particles, and are due essentially to the dilution of the solvent by the solute. The word colligative is derived from the Latin colligatus meaning bound together. Colligative properties include: ▪ Relative lowering of vapor pressure ▪ Elevation of boiling point ▪ Depression of freezing point ▪ Osmotic pressure. Measurement of colligative properties for a dilute solution of a non-ionized solute such as urea or glucose in water or another solvent can lead to determinations of relative molar masses, both for small molecules and for polymers which cannot be studied by other means.

Definition of colligative in the English dictionary

The definition of colligative in the dictionary is depending on the concentrations of atoms, ions, and molecules that are present rather than on their nature.
