Assertion :Lowering of vapour pressure is not dependent on the number of species present in the solution. Reason: Lowering of vapour pressure and relative lowering of vapour pressure are colligative properties.
Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the ratio of the number of solute particles to the number of solvent molecules in a solution, and not on the nature of the chemical species present. Relative lowering of vapor pressure is a colligative property.
