How does increasing the concentration of a nonvolatile solute in water affect the following properties:_________.
a) Vapor pressure: Decreases
b) Freezing point: Decrease
c) point: Increases
d) Osmotic pressure: ???
Does osmotic increase, decrease, or stay the same?
The osmotic pressure of a solution is directly proportional to the concentration, expressed in molarity, of the solute in solution. That is to say that osmotic pressure increases.
