Chemistry · Colligative properties of dilute solutions: a relative lowering of vapour pressure, depression of freezing point, the elevation of boiling point and osmotic pressure

At high concentration of soap in water, soap behave as:

At high concentration of soap in water, soap behave as:

  • A. molecular solid
  • B. associated colloid
  • C. macromolecular colloid
  • D. Iyophilic colloid

Step-by-step solution

Soap molecules at high concentration aggregate to form micelles, which are colloidal-sized particles. This aggregation is due to association of small molecules, hence they are classified as associated colloids. This is characteristic of surfactants above the critical micelle concentration.
