How does colligative properties happen?

In: Chemistry [Edit categories]

Colligative properties of matter occur as a consequence of the laws of thermodynamics governing the mixture of substances. The presence of more than one component in a mixture alters the physical properties relative to either component in its pure state by increasing the entropy.
