B) NH4Cl is the solute, and the solution is unsaturated.

C) NH4Cl is the solvent, and the solution is saturated.

D) NH4Cl is the solvent, and the solution is unsaturated

NH4Cl = solute

Compared to a 0.1 M aqueous solution of NaCl, a 0.8 M aqueous solution of NaCl has a

_________ boiling point    ___________ freezing point

HIGHER BP; LOWER FP

b/c more solutes are in the solution (0.1 --> 0.8 M)
so harder for water molecules to change from liquid to gas
