<P> Here we consider only properties which result from the dissolution of nonvolatile solute in a volatile liquid solvent . They are essentially solvent properties which are changed by the presence of the solute . The solute particles displace some solvent molecules in the liquid phase and therefore reduce the concentration of solvent, so that the colligative properties are independent of the nature of the solute . The word colligative is derived from the Latin colligatus meaning bound together . </P> <P> Colligative properties include: </P> <Ul> <Li> Relative lowering of vapor pressure </Li> <Li> Elevation of boiling point </Li> <Li> Depression of freezing point </Li> <Li> Osmotic pressure </Li> </Ul> <Li> Relative lowering of vapor pressure </Li>

How do the colligative properties of the salt(s) effect the freezing point temperature
