Answer:
Explanation:
The colligative properties of a given solution can be defined as the properties of that solution that are dependent on the concentration of the molecules or ions of the solute in the solution, and not on the type or identity of that solute. Examples include:
1. vapor pressure lowering
2. boiling point elevation
3. freezing point depression
4. Osmotic pressure
In this case, vapor pressure would be lowered because with an electrolyte introduced into a solution, the number of solute particles would be larger because the solute particles dissociate into ions, thereby competing with the solvent molecules at the surface of the solution, which in turn reduces the rate at which the solvent evaporates and condenses. Vapor pressure is lower compared to a solution with the same number of moles of  nonelectrolyte solute.
The higher the number of ions in the solution, the greater the colligative properties of the solution will be impacted.
