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.

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.

Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (the solute) in water (the solvent) with a solution density of 1010 g/L. If vinegar is 0.80
Damm [24]

Answer:

4.8 %

Explanation:

We are asked the concentration in % by mass, given the molarity of the solution and its density.

0.8 molar solution means that we have 0.80 moles of acetic acid in 1 liter of solution. If we convert the moles of acetic acid to grams, and the 1 liter solution to grams, since we are given the density of solution, we will have the values necessary to calculate the % by mass:

MW acetic acid = 60.0 g/mol

mass acetic acid (the solute) = 0.80 mol x 60 g / mol = 48.00 g

mass of solution = 1000 cm³ x 1.010 g/ cm³      (1l= 1000 cm³)

                            = 1010 g

% (by mass) = 48.00 g/ 1010 g  x 100 = 4.8 %

A tank holds 6.90 m3 of water. What is the volume in ft3? (3.28 ft = 1 m, Remember significant figures, but this answer does not
AleksAgata [21]

Volume of tank = 6.9 m^{3} (given)

Since, 1 m = 3.28 ft

So,  

1 m^{3} = 35.287 ft^{3}

For 6.9 m^{3}:

6.9\times 35.287 ft^{3} = 243.4803 ft^{3}

The significant rule for multiplication, states that the number of significant figures in the answer obtained by multiplication is determined by the value with the lowest number of significant digits.

Since, the minimum number of decimal places in the above multiplication operation is 1 so, the final result must be upto 1 decimal place only.

243.4803 ft^{3} \simeq 243.5 ft^{3}

Hence, volume in ft^{3} is 243.5.

What is an electron configuration?
Ulleksa [173]

In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or other physical structure) in atomic or molecular orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶, using the notation explained below.

What is the percent composition HCN?
kupik [55]

Answer:

see calculations in explanation

Explanation:

percent = part/total x 100%

part = ∑ atomic mass of element

  • hydrogen = 1.008 amu (atomic mass units)
  • carbon = 12.011 amu
  • nitrogen = 14.007 amu

total = ∑ molecular mass of compound

       = H amu  +  C amu +  Namu

       = 1.008 amu + 12.011 amu + 14.007 amu

       = 27.026 amu

%H = (1.008amu/27.026amu)100% = 3.730%

%C = (12.011amu/27.026amu)100% = 44.442%

%N = (14.007amu/27.026amu)100% = 51.827%

Check results ∑%values = 100%

3.730% + 44.442% + 51.827% = 99.999% ≅ 100%
