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.

This reaction releases energy as heat. Explain whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic and whether it obeys the law of
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Exothermic, it obeys the law of conservation of energy

Explanation:

The reaction is an exothermic change. In this kind of change, heat is liberated to the surrounding. So the surrounding becomes hotter at the end of the heat change.

In chemical reactions that involves the loss of energy as heat, they obey the law of conservation of energy.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another. In such reactions as this, chemical energy is transformed into heat energy.

Based on the following reaction, determine how much heat is released if 500. grams of methane is combusted in excess oxygen: CH4
EastWind [94]

Answer:

- 13,150.6kJ

Explanation:

CH4 + 2 O2 ------> CO2 + 2 H2O ΔH= – 890 kJ

The ΔH is enthalpy change of combustion , which is the heat is either absorbed or released by the combustion of one mole of a substance.

ΔH=−890 kJ/mol (released in the combustion of one mole of methane)

using the molar mass  (in grams )of methane to get moles of sample

(237g × 1 mole of CH4)/16.04g=14.776 moles  of CH4

Since 1 mole produces 890 kJ of heat upon combustion, then 14.776 moles will produce

ΔH = 14.776moles of CH4 × 890kJ/1mole of CH4

=13,150.6kJ

Therefore ΔH = - 13,150.6kJ
