To melt the ice on your driveway, you can use two moles of rock salt (NaCl) or two moles of calcium chloride (CaCl2). Which solu

te will have the greatest effect and why?
a) NaCl because it is completely soluble in water.
b) NaCl because it produces fewer moles of solute particles per mole of compound.
c) CaCl2 because it produces more moles of solute particles per mole of compound.
d) CaCl2 because it is less volatile than NaCl.

CaCl_2 because it produces more moles of solute particles per mole of compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Freezing point depression depend on the "amount of solute particles" . Freezing point is also a colligative property. As we know, calcium chloride  will dissociate into 3 particles  whereas sodium chloride dissociate into only 2 particles. So, an aqueous solution calcium chloride would be effective than sodium chloride.  

Also the water's boiling point with calcium chloride is higher. So CaCl_2 is considered as a good  road salt since it produces more ions per formula unit of  salt that is  dissolved  than NaCl

I know it would be calcium chloride, not sure why. Maybe someone could answer that part.

Nitrogen dioxide reacts with water to form nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide according to the equation: 3NO2(g)+H2O(l)→2HNO3(l)+
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

5 moles of NO₂ will remain after the reaction is complete

Explanation:

We state the reaction:

3NO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → 2HNO₃(l) + NO(g)

3 moles of nitric oxide can react with 1 mol of water. Ratio is 3:1, so we make this rule of three:

If 3 moles of nitric oxide need 1 mol of water to react

Then, 26 moles of NO₂ may need (26 .1) / 3 = 8.67 moles of H₂O

We have 7 moles of water but we need 8.67 moles, so water is the limiting reactant because we do not have enough. In conclusion, the oxide is the reagent in excess. We can verify:

1 mol of water needs 3 moles of oxide to react

Therefore, 7 moles of water  will need (7 .3)/1 = 21 moles of oxide

We have 26 moles of NO₂ and we need 21, so we still have oxide after the reaction is complete. We will have (26-21) = 5 moles of oxide that remains

Why are chemists interested in studying thermochemistry? a. Heat is often absorbed during reactions.b. Heat is often released du
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

a. Heat is often absorbed during reactions.

c. Heat is often released during chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Thermochemistry -

The study of thermochemistry involve the change in the amount of heat , during any physical or chemical process , is referred to as thermodynamics .

The focus of thermochemistry is on the changing amount of energy in the form of heat , on the system with respect to the surroundings .

The process like boiling , melting , sublimation , may require energy or releases energy , and hence are studied under thermochemistry .

Hence , from the given question ,

The correct options are -  a , c.

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Explanation: This reaction is called a synthesis reaction. This is because a synthesis reaction is when two or more reactants combine/react together to form a single product. The two reactants carbon (C) and oxygen (O2) reacted together to form one single product: carbon dioxide (CO2)
