AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the effect of increasing the concentration of a salt solution, we can analyze the properties of solutions, particularly focusing on vapor pressure, boiling point, and freezing point. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Vapor Pressure**: - Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by vapor in equilibrium with its liquid phase. It depends on the number of solvent molecules escaping into the vapor phase. - When a solute (like salt) is added to a solvent, the number of solvent molecules at the surface decreases because some of the surface area is occupied by solute particles. ...
