Electrolyte solutions have a greater effect on colligative properties than nonelectrolyte solutions because electrolytes dissociate into multiple particles when dissolved, increasing the number of solute particles in solution. Nonelectrolytes do not dissociate so they have less of an effect. The key colligative properties - vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure - all increase with higher solute concentration as more solute particles take up space that would otherwise be occupied by solvent molecules.

Colligative Properties of Solution Effects of Concentration
In a pure solvent, the solvent's molecules
cover the entire surface area. The amount of solvent molecules covering the surface decreases if a non-volatile solute is introduced to the solvent, making the surface contain Lowering of Vapour Pressure both solute and solvent molecules. At the same temperature, the vapour pressure of the solution is found to be lower than that of the pure solvent because the vapour pressure of the solution is primarily caused by the solvent.
The temperature at which the vapour pressure
equals atmospheric pressure is known as a liquid's boiling point. We are aware that the vapour pressure of a solution decreases when a non-volatile liquid is added to a pure Elevation in Boiling Point solvent. Therefore, we must raise the solution's temperature in order to bring the vapour pressure to atmospheric pressure. Elevation in boiling point is the term used to describe the difference between the boiling point of the solution and the boiling point of the pure solvent.
The temperature at which a substance's
vapour pressure in its liquid phase equals that substance's vapour pressure in its solid phase is known as the freezing point of that Depression in Freezing Point substance. Raoult's law states that when a non-volatile solid is introduced to a solvent, the solvent's vapour pressure will drop until it is equal to the vapour pressure of a solid solvent at a lower temperature. Depression in freezing point is the term used to describe the difference between the freezing points of a pure solvent and its solution.
The volume of the solution increases when a
semipermeable membrane is positioned between a solvent and a solution. This is because the solvent molecules pass through the semipermeable membrane into the Osmotic Pressure solution. Only solvent molecules can flow across the semi-permeable membrane, but larger molecules like solute cannot. The process of solvent molecules spontaneously moving from a pure solvent to a solution or from a diluted to a concentrated solution over a semipermeable membrane is known as osmosis.
