Answer to Question 1

 Dissolved salts have an impact on colligative properties. These are properties of solutions so their behavior is dependent upon salinity.
 The heat capacity of water decreases as the salinity rises.
 Dissolved salts make it harder for the hydrogen bond framework to occur in water. The freezing point if water then becomes lower as the salinity increases. This affects the formation of sea ice.
 Due to adhesion, water molecules are attracted to solids and ions. This affects evaporation rates of seawater. Seawater takes longer to evaporate than freshwater.
 The osmotic pressure changes with salinity. This affects all organisms because it involves the transmittance of water into cells. Many organisms are able to control this transmission with enough energy, but others are unable to control the flow.

Answer to Question 2

True

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
