How does salt help melt the road?​

Chemistry

QveST [7]3 years ago

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 I calculate the molecular weight of Mg(OH)2?
vodomira [7]

The molecular weight of Mg(OH)2 : 58 g/mol

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Mg(OH)2 compound

Required

The molecular weight

Solution

Relative atomic mass (Ar) of element : the average atomic mass of its isotopes  

Relative molecular weight (M)  : The sum of the relative atomic mass of Ar  

M AxBy = (x.Ar A + y. Ar B)  

So for Mg(OH)2 :

= Ar Mg + 2 x Ar O + 2 x Ar H

= 24 g/mol + 2 x 16 g/mol + 2 x 1 g/mol

= 24 + 32 + 2

= 58 g/mol

What is the number of moles in 15.0 g AsH3?
pentagon [3]

We are given with the mass of Arsine (AsH_{3}

The mass of arsine is 15g

there is a relation between moles, mass and molar mass of any compound which is

moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}

The molar mass of Arsine = atomic mass of As + 3X atomic mass of H

the molar mass of Arsine = 74.92 + 3X 1 = 77.92 g/mol

Let us calculate the moles as

moles=\frac{15}{77.92}=0.192mol
