• C)The presence of a nonvolatile solute reduces the mole fraction of the pure solvent.
• D)The evaporation rate of the pure solvent in an open container is higher than that of the solution.
• E)The condensation rates of the pure solvent and the solution are probably about equal in a closed container.
