Bah, I can imagine some copy writer somewhere going "Hey WTF? I was just paid to type this shit!" Salt would raise the boiling point, boiling it slower. The mass of a material is the same, whatever state it is in. The apparent weight might be different if you take into account it's bouyancy and relative densitiy to air (assuming you are weighing it in air, steam might be apparently lighter than water/ice due to it's relative density) Strange thing about water of course, is that in it's solid form, it's actually less dense than it is in it's liquid form (the reason ice floats), so if relative bouyancy is at issue, and if the material is water, then the answer would be liquid. But like I said, hack writer + one too many pulls on the bottle = crappy questions
