Answer:

I believe the boiling point is 102 degrees Celsius and the freezing point is -2 degrees Celsius (so C).

Step-by-step explanation:

Gas has a higher entropy than liquid, who has a higher entropy than solid. If a solid melts or a liquid vaporizes, the entropy increases. If a solute is present, it also contributes to the entropy of the mixture. The liquid already has a higher entropy (molecule randomness or disorder) than the pure liquid, so there's less likelihood of forming gas. This, therefore, means that it has a higher boiling point. This randomness also opposes freezing. A lower temperature has to reached before balance between solid and solution reached. So, the freezing point is lower.

Please let me know if I'm incorrect :)
