(a) Measurement of osmotic pressure method is preferred for the determination of molar masses of macromolecules such as proteins and polymers because the magnitude of osmotic pressure is large even for very dilute solution and it can be measured at room temperature.

(b) Aquatic animals are more comfortable in cold water than warm water since availability of dissolved air is more as increase in temperature decreases solubility.

(c) Elevation of boiling point of 1M KCl solution is nearly double than 1M sugar solution, this is because KCl dissociates in solution as K^{+}and Cl^{-}.
