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

Ideally‚ the percent yield should be 100%‚ as this means that you have recovered 100% of that material. A yield over 100% would mean that the substance still has some traces of another material that is adding additional mass. Ex. The iron filings having some sand particles leftover. A yield under 100% would mean that some of the substance was not recovered‚ it could have been lost (spilled) or found in another substance (not separated completely). The percent yields may give some insight into what
