Introduction
• Osmometry measures the total solute particles
concentration in a liquid that contribute to the
osmotic pressure of a solution
• Solutes added to a solvent alter the solvent in
several ways
• These changes, collectively referred to as
colligative properties, are dependent on the
total number of articles present in the solution
• The actual mass of the particles is irrelevant; a
small molecule will exert the same effect as a
large molecule
