hm thats just a statement saying that in one can there are 8.19 g of salt and in another there are 8.32 g.

Oh crap.. this question. Sorry

a)	Explain which batch would be more resistant to frost damage if it is shipped a great distance in winter and explain why

aaronq · Answer

because a higher concentration of solute will lower the freezing point of a solvent.
(colligative properties)

Oh okay. I see now~ Just read an article about it. Thanks :)

no problem !

b) Explain which batch would have the higher boiling point & explain why.

aaronq · Answer

@shipmatekelsey

If you read about colligative properties and boiling point elevation, you'll see that the increase in BP is proportional to the solute concentration. In other words, the more salt a solution has, the higher the BP.

This is because it takes more energy for solvent particles to break the interactions with the solute, and enter the gas phase - which is what boiling really is - and the more interactions (more salt particles, more concentration), the stronger their attraction.
