Lower the melting point

Explanation:

Salts helps to melt road by lowering the melting point. It acts as an impurity and generally, impurities low the melting point of substances.

Salts are used as an antifreeze.

  • Water freezes at 0°C and forms ice/snow which can impede human and vehicular movement.
  • When salt is added, it causes the depression of the freezing point by lowering it further.
  • The freezing point is pegged back at -6°C.
  • This way it takes more low temperature to freeze the water.
  • The salt acts as an impurity and causes the depression of melting point and widening of the melting range.

How do the bonds within AND between a water molecule affect the properties of water?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Water is a polar molecule, meaning the covalent bonds in it share electrons unequally. They spend more time around the oxygen, making it positive and the hydrogens negative. This helps water stick to surfaces, a property called adhesion. The hydrogens of one molecule are also attracted to the oxygens of another. This is called cohesion, and it helps water form droplets

Answer:

C. Biodiesel made from plant oil.

Explanation:

The  type of vegetable oil used in production greatly affects the performance of biodiesel in the winter. The less saturated the fat, the better the performance in winter time. Canola oil works very well for low temperature biodiesel, and palm oil is among the worst for cold weather performance.

Hope this helped!!!

Write a nuclear reaction for the neutron-induced fission of u−235 to form xe−144 and sr−90.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

235/92U+10n→144/54Xe+90/38Sr+2/10n

Explanation:

  • The nuclear reaction for the neutron-induced fission of u−235 to form xe−144 and sr−90 is represented by;

235/92U+10n→144/54Xe+90/38Sr+2/10n

  • In nuclear fission reactions a heavy nuclide is split into two light nuclides and is coupled by the release of energy.
