You are making homemade ice cream and can use either 200 g Ice Melt (CaCl2) or 200 g rock salt (NaCl) to lower the freezing poin
t of 7.00 kg of ice (assume the ice is pure water). Which salt would help you eat your ice cream faster (i.e. lower the freezing temperature of the ice)?
Calcium chloride (CaCl2) would help me eat my ice cream faster
Explanation:
Addition of salt to ice melts the lowers the freezing temperature of the ice thus melting the ice easily
Adding calcium chloride to my ice cream would help me eat it faster because the melting point of calcium chloride (772°C) is lower than that of sodium chloride (melting point is 801°C). Calcium chloride would melt my ice cream faster because of its lower melting point
