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.

PLZ HELP IM CONFUSED
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

9.1 mol

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

CO (g) + 2H2 (g) → CH3OH (l)

According to the above balanced equation, 2 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) are needed to produce 1 mole of methanol (CH3OH).

To convert 36.7 g of hydrogen gas to moles, we use the formula;

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of H2 = 2.02g/mol

mole = 36.7/2.02

mole = 18.17mol

This means that if;

2 moles of H2 reacts to produce 1 mole of CH3OH

18.17mol of H2 will react to produce;

18.17 × 1 / 2

= 18.17/2

= 9.085

Approximately to 1 d.p = 9.1 mol of methanol (CH3OH).

Which corresponds to a pressure of 1.23 atm??
Vadim26 [7]

Atmospheric pressure<span>, sometimes also called barometric pressure, is the pressure exerted by the weight of air in the </span>atmosphere of Earth<span> (or that of another planet)</span>

1 atm is equivalent to = 101325 Pa

= 760 mmHg

= 760 torr

= 1.01325 bar

So 1.23 atm is equal to

= 124629.8 Pa

= 934.8 mmHg

= 934.8 torr

<span>= 1.2462 bar</span>

How many sulfur atoms are there in 3.90 mol of sulfur?
Ilya [14]
 <span>In a mole of anything, there are 6.023 x 10^23 units. So, in 3.9 moles of sulfur, there are 3.9 * 6.023 x 10^23 = 23 x 10^23 = 2.3 x 10^24 atoms (keeping only 2 sig figs).  Hope I help!!

Why are isotopes with short half-lives not useful for dating very old rocks?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The radioactive isotopes within these brains typically record the ages of the grains-not the time when the sedimentary rock was formed, making it difficult to date using radiometric dating. The half-life of U-235 is 704 million years.

Explanation:

hope this helps but if i'm wrong then i'm sorry..
