What type of salt is more effective for melting ice

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]4 years ago
5 0

Sodium chloride is used for ice cream makers because it's inexpensive, readily available, and non-toxic.

OR

Rock salt has been a staple in the ice-melting industry for a long time and is still very popular for use at home and by public utilities


Potassium chloride, rock salt, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride are the most common ice-melting salts used today. Ice melters are not naturally hot; they do not melt ice as the term suggests, but rather, they act to depress or lower the freezing point of the snow or ice they are spread on. This allows the salt or chemical particles to bore their way through ice and form a layer of brine under the surface, which helps the top layer of ice break up. If the brine is able to remain in place, it will continue to melt any snow or ice that comes in contact with it.

Estimate the enthalpy change for the combustion of one mole of acetylene, C2H2, to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. BE(C?H)
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

ΔH rxn =  -1010 kJ/molC₂H₂

Explanation:

To obtain the enthalpy change for a reaction from bond energies what we do is to make an inventory of the bonds broken and formed for the balanced chemical reaction:

C₂H₂ + 5/2O₂   ⇒   2CO₂ + H₂O

Bond Broken                                    Bonds Formed

2 C-H + 1 C≡C + 5/2 O=O                4C=O + 2 H-O

Enthalpy bonds broken:

2 mol (456 kJ/mol)+ 1 mol (962 kJ/mol) + 5/2 mol (499 kJ/mol)  =  3121.5 kJ

Enthalpy bond formed:

4 mol (802 kJ/mol) + 2 mol (462 kJ/mol) = 4132.0 kJ

ΔH rxn = H broken - H formed =  3121.5 kJ - 4132.0 kJ = - 1010  kJ (per mol C₂H₂ )

A standard solution is prepared for the analysis of fluoxymesterone (c20h29fo3; 336 g/mol), an anabolic steroid. a stock solutio
-Dominant- [34]

<em>Answer:</em>

  • The concentration of new solution will be 1×10∧-7 M.

<em>Solution:</em>

<em>Data Given </em>

       given mass of fluoxymesterone =16.8mg = 0.0168 g

       molar mass  of fluoxymesterone = 336g/mol

       vol. of fluoxymesterone = 500.0 ml = 0.500 L

      Stock Molarity of  fluoxymesterone = (0.0168/336)÷0.500 = 1×10∧-4 M

So applying dilution formula

                   Stock Solution :  New Solution

                                 M1.V1 = M2.V2

       ( 1×10∧-4 M) × (1×10∧-6 L) = M2 × 0.001 L

     [( 1×10∧-4) × (1×10∧-6)]÷[0.001] = M2

     1 × 10∧-7 = M2

<em>Result:</em>

  • The concentration of new solution M2 will be  1 × 10∧-7

Why is the mass in amu of a carbon-12 atom reported as 12.011 in the periodic table of the elements?
Bas_tet [7]

The mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table is the weighted average of all its naturally occurring isotopes.

Naturally occurring carbon is about

99 % carbon-12 (12.000 u) + 1 % carbon-13 (13.003 u).

That extra carbon-13 makes the <em>average atomic mass</em>  greater than 12.000 u.
