Properties such as boiling point,freezing point,and vapour pressure of a pure solvent change when solute molecules are added to get a homogeneous solution. These are called colligative properties. Applications of colligative properties are very useful in day-to-day life. One of its examples is the use of an ethylene glycol and water mixture as an anti-freezing liquid in the radiator of automobiles.
$A$ solution $M$ is prepared by mixing ethanol and water. The mole fraction of ethanol in the mixture is $0.9$.
