Answer:

Answer one:
Solute particles block some of the ability of liquid particles to evaporate. We can then conclude, solutions of solid solutes typically have a lower vapor pressure than pure solvents.

Answer two:
Solutions freezing points are lower than of the pure solvent or solute because freezing (becoming a solid) creates order and decreases entropy.

Answer three:
The presence of solute particles decreases the vapor pressure of the liquid solvent, this means a higher temperature is needed to reach the boiling point.
