Answer: All concentrations.
- A High temperatures mainly
- B Low concentrations mainly
- C All concentrations
- D Mainly at boiling point
Correct answer: C. All concentrations
Explanation: An ideal solution obeys Raoult's law throughout the entire composition range.
Adding a non-volatile solute lowers the solvent's vapour pressure at every temperature, which is the root cause behind all four colligative properties: it shifts the freezing point down and the boiling point up.

Learn how substances dissolve and form mixtures. Covers concentration terms, colligative properties (boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, osmotic pressure), and ideal vs non-ideal solution behaviour.
