Answer:

Ionici {plural of Ionico}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonvolatile means that the solute itself has little tendency to evaporate. Because some of the surfaces are now occupied by solute particles, there is less room for solvent molecules. This results in less solvent being able to evaporate.
