Summarizing
Overall, the colligative properties can be very useful in our everyday lives. The neat thing about them is that it doesn't matter what the solute is, just how much is there. For example, if you added the same number of moles of sugar and salt, the salt would have a greater effect than the sugar because it is ionic. The reason ethylene glycol has such a large effect on the freezing point is because it is a liquid that dissolves well in water.
