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.

If an individual is eating a diet in which 25% of their ATP production is a result of utilizing carbohydrates, 50% of their ATP
NISA [10]

Answer:

Oxidative phosphorylation proceeds with the formation of energy laden molecules i.e; carbondioxide and water.

Therefore, Total CO₂ production is directly related to VCO₂ = R x VO₂

where, R is the respiratory quotient varing among 0.7 to 1.0 according to the energy intake (ATP) ie 0.25 of the total diet consumed .

VO₂ is, as mentioned above arterial venous oxygen difference = 6.2ml/dl

therefore, VCO₂ = 0.25 x 6.2

= 1.55 ml/dl

ie; VO₂ : VCO₂ = 6.2 : 1.55.

A football is inflated to 12psi at 20°C What is the new pressure in the football
Radda [10]

Answer: The new pressure is 3 psi.

Explanation:

Given: P_{1} = 12 psi,         T_{1} = 20^{o}C

P_{2} = ?,          T_{2} = 5^{o}C

Formula used is as follows.

\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{12 psi}{20^{o}C} = \frac{P_{2}}{5^{o}C}\\P_{2} = \frac{12 psi \times 5^{o}C}{20^{o}C}\\= 3 psi

Thus, we can conclude that the new pressure is 3 psi.

What is the oxidation state of each element in the species Mn(ClO4)3?
gayaneshka [121]
The oxidation state of the compound Mn (ClO4)3 is to be determined in this problem. For oxygen, the charge is 2-, the total considering its number of atoms is -24. Mn has a charge of +3. TO compute for Mn, we must achieve zero charge overall hence 3+3x-24=0 where x is the Cl charge. Cl charge, x is +7.

What happens to the ions when the drain is turned off? please help :] ❤️
kkurt [141]

Answer:

In a long channel MOSFET, the width of the pinch-off region is assumed small relative to the length of the channel. Thus, neither the length nor the voltage across the inversion layer change beyond the pinch-off, resulting in a drain current independent of drain bias. Consequently, the drain current saturates.
