question 17

Multiple Choice

• A)freezing-point depression of the solution.
• B)vapor pressure of the solution being higher than the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.
• C)osmotic pressure of the solvent being lower than the osmotic pressure of the solution.
• D)vapor pressure of the solution being lower than the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.
• E)osmotic pressure of the solvent being higher than the osmotic pressure of the solution.
