The calculations for colligative properties do not depend on the identity of a substance that is being used because only the amount of the substance that is used plays a role. The types of calculations that are colligative properties are: freezing point of depression‚ boiling point elevation‚ vapor pressure lowering‚ and osmotic pressure.1 Colligative properties are present in everyday life‚ such as adding salt to a boiling pot of water. By adding salt to the water‚ the boiling point of elevation

An intensive property is a bulk property‚ meaning that it is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Examples of intensive properties are the temperature and the hardness of an object. No matter how small a diamond is cut‚ it maintains its intrinsic hardness. By contrast‚ an extensive property is one that is additive for independent‚ noninteracting subsystems.[1] The property is proportional to the amount of material in the
