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.

Answer:

Salt is added to icy roads in the winter because it lowers the freezing point of water, which also makes the salt melt the ice.

What is the Bohr model for Sodium?

Sonbull [250]

Column tells you how many valence electrons there are

Row tells you how many layers (circles)

Sodium (Na) has 1 valence electron

Sodium (Na) is the 3rd row so there's 3 circles

Has 11 total electrons

Bohr models show ALL ELECTRONS

The first shell can only hold 2 electrons

Every shell after that can hold 8.

So the first shell has 2 electrons, second one has 8 electrons, and the third one has 1.

2 + 8 + 1 = 11

How many grams are in 4.25x10^21 molecules of sodium oxide

Vlada [557]

Answer: 0.37g

Explanation:avogadro number = 6.02214076x10^23 atoms/molecules per mole

a mole of Na2O = 2*23 + 16 = 52 g

4.25x10^21 atoms = 52*(4.25*10^21/6.02214076*10^23) = 0.37 g

A distinct molecular species that is formed in one step of a reaction mechanism and then reacts in a subsequent step is called

Flura [38]

Notice that the oxygen atom produced in the first step of this mechanism is consumed in the second step and therefore does not appear as a product in the overall reaction. Species that are produced in one step and consumed in a subsequent step are called intermediates.

I hope that helps
