<span>For this number, we are to determine the colligative property that is affected by the addition of salt in the sidewalk in order to melt the ice. The answer is that the colligative property being displayed is the freezing point depression. Colligative properties are innate properties of substances and are only dependent on the amount of substance being added. </span>

<span>The correct answer is 'freezing point depression'. Colligative properties depend on the concentration of molecules of a solute. Examples of other colligative properties are boiling point elevation or vapour pressure lowering. The salt causes ice on the side walk to melt because it lowers the freezing point. </span>

why can the combined weights of several liquids mixed in an open flask be less than but never more than the sum of all the weigh

nexus9112 [7]

Because you are never adding more than the substances created, nor are you creating any, but should a chemical reaction take place you could see the liquid change form into a gaseous state and that would result a loss of the liquid volume.
So to wrap it all up you can’t have more liquids than what is already there but you could always lose some due to a chemical change, hence the reason it says an open flask, the chemical change would not be collected, mass would be lost

The active ingredient in some oral anesthetics used in sore throat sprays. what is the molar mass of phenol?

raketka [301]

Answer: Molecular mass of the phenol is 94g/mol.

Explanation:

Phenol is an active ingredient in some oral anesthetics used in sore throat sprays.It is used as anesthetics to cure minor sour throat pain , minor mouth irritations etc.

For Example : Cramex , Chloraseptic sprays contains phenol as an active ingredient.

Phenol has a molecular formula of $C_6H_5OH$

Molecular mass of the phenol = 6(mass of carbon)+5(mass of hydrogen)+1(mass of oxygen)+1(mass of hydrogen) = 6(12)+5(1)+1(16)+(1) = 94 g/mol

arsen [322]

Answer:

1670 ml

Explanation:

molarity x Volume (Liters) = moles => Volume (Liters) = moles/Molarity

Volume needed = 2.50mol/1.50M = 1.67 Liters = 1670 ml.
