Why is vapor pressure lowering a colligative property? Chemistry Phases of Matter Vapor Pressure and Boiling 1 Answer Manpreet Singh/ N. May 15, 2018 Hope this helps yall Explanation: Vapor pressure lowering is a colligative property of solutions. The vapor pressure of a pure solvent is greater than the vapor pressure of a solution containing a non volatile liquid. This lowered vapor pressure leads to boiling point elevation.
