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.

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.

A scientist finds that a sample of matter contains three types of atoms. The sample can be any of the following, except:

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. element

Explanation:

The sample cannot be an element because an element - or elemental substance - cannot be decomposed into simpler substances. Thus, it cannot be composed by differents types of atoms. For example, an element is carbon (C).

As the sample contains three types of atoms, it can be a compound, a molecule or a mixture, because they can be composed by different types of atoms - of different chemical elements. For example, the sample could contain the element carbon (C) combined with other elements, for example oxygen (O) or hydrogen (H), amoing others.
