Explanation:

The presence of dissolved solids and gases in seawater changes its properties. Latent heat is one such property affected. Seawater has a different latent - heat value compared to pure water because the solutes disrupt the intermolecular forces and energy requirements for phase changes.

Answer:

a. True
