Term
Boiling Point Elevation
 Definition
When the natural boiling point of a solution increases as a result of the solute.
Term
Freezing Point Depression
 Definition
The Colligative property that allows solutions to reach temperatures below their freezing point as a result of solutes in the solution that resist the solid phase.
Term
Osmosis
 Definition
A colligative property that creates a semi-permeable memberant that allows solvent molecules, but not solute molecules, to pass. Osmosis is that process by which a solution moves from high concentration to low concentration.
