Question

The chemical potential is central to the theory behind colligative properties. Which statement below provides a simple explanation of colligative properties?

A. By adding solute, the chemical potential to undergo a physical change becomes larger. Thus, less extreme conditions are needed to make the change.

B. By adding solute, the chemical potential to undergo a physical change becomes larger. Thus, more extreme conditions are needed to make the change. C. By adding solute, the chemical potential to undergo a physical change becomes smaller. Thus, less extreme conditions are needed to make the change. D. By adding solute, the chemical potential to undergo a physical change becomes smaller. Thus, more extreme conditions are needed to make the change.

Explanation / Answer

when we add solute --> the chemical potential becomes larger

therefore, more extreme conditions are required

so..

choose
