Ionic salts are used for melting ice on roads for two reasons: they are effective at lowering the freezing point when they disso

lve in the water and they sometimes release heat when they dissolve in the water.
The heat of solution depends on the energy involved in breaking apart the salt and the energy involved in dissolving the ions in water (hydration). The enthalpy of hydration for each ion depends on the strength of the intermolecular force between the ion and water, which is electrostatic and follows Coulomb's law.
Rank the following in order of their predicted ability to melt ice due to their heat of solution:
1 = best at melting ice; 3 = worst at melting ice
A. NaCl
B. KCl
C. CaCl2

Answer:

CaCl2=1

KCl=3

Explanation:

CaCl2 has a very high heat of solution hence it is best at melting ice. It is better than all the other salts mentioned. Its dissolution in water produces a lot of heat which melts the ice.

1. Naturally occurring europium (Eu) consists of two isotopes was a mass of 151 and 153. Europium- 151 has an abundance of 48.03
sergejj [24]
The atomic mass of Europium is 152 amu

Work:
151(0.4803) = 72.52 amu
153(0.5197) = 79.5 amu
72.5 + 79.5 = 152 amu
