  1. A Elevation in boiling point
  2. B Depression in freezing point
  3. C Osmotic pressure
  4. D Relative lowering of vapour pressure
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Osmotic pressure

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Among the given colligative properties, osmotic pressure can provide molar mass of protcins, polymers and colloids with greater precision. Because for these substances, the value of other given colligative properties are too small to be measured. Secondly, this method has the advantage i.c., this use molarities instead of molalities.
