solutions are separated by a semi permeable membrane is called osmosis.

The weights of bulbs and U-tube are determined before the experiment. A current of dry air is
passed through the bulbs. It carries away the vapour of solvent while passing through the bulbs. The
loss of weight in first two bulbs (A) is proportional to vapour pressure of solution (P).
wt. loss in ‘A’ Bulbs x P
But the vapour pressure of solvent is greater than that of the solution, some more vapour

Cottrell’s Method
In this method, Beckman’s thermometer is used to determine the small magnitudes of eleva-
tion in boiling point or depression in freezing point accurately. It consists of a mercury reservoir at one
end and a bulb at the other end. These are connected by a capillary. The elevation or depression can
be measured in a range of -6oC to 300oC by adjusting the amount of mercury in the bulb with help of
reservoir.
The apparatus consists of a main tube provided with a side tube. The main tube contains
another inner tube through which the Beckman’s thermometer is inserted. A platinum wire is fused at
the bottom of the outer tube and heated during the boiling process.

The colligative property is inversely proportional to the molar mass of the solute and hence
Calculated molar mass of solute

experimental molar mass of solute
For ideal solutions i = 1
For non-ideal solutions
i < 1 when solute undergoes dissociation.
i > 1 when solute undergoes association.
The equations for calculating different colligative properties can be modified to correct non ideality
as given below.
