In the winter , people often buy large bags of rock salt to sprinkle on their walkways . Why do people do this?

1 answer:

6 0

The salt causes the water to freeze at a lower temperature. When a solute, aka salt, is introduced to the system, the freezing point is lowered. This makes the water freeze at a lower temperature.

Is the method for converting molecules to moles the same as that for atoms?

arlik [135]

Answer:

One mole is the Avogadro's number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions or electrons) in a substance. Converting to moles is fairly easy because the conversion is always the same.

According to the website of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the average temperature of the universe is

charle [14.2K]

Answer : The temperature in degree Celsius is, $-270.45^oC$

Explanation :

The conversion used for the temperature from Kelvin to degree Celsius is:

$^oC=K-273.15$

where,

$K$ = temperature in Kelvin

$^oC$ = temperature in centigrade

As we are given the temperature in Kelvin is, 2.7

Now we have to determine the temperature in Kelvin.

$^oC=K-273.15$

$^oC=2.7-273.15$

$^oC=-270.45$

Therefore, the temperature in degree Celsius is, $-270.45^oC$

Write isotopic symbols in the form AZX for each isotope. a. the copper isotope with 34 neutrons b. the copper isotope with 36 ne

krek1111 [17]

Explanation:

The form AZX denoted that;

Z = The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element.

A = Mass Number ( Sum of Neutrons and Protons)

X represents the element.

A. the copper isotope with 34 neutrons

X = Cu

Atomic Number of Copper, Z = 29

Mass Number, A = 29 + 34 = 63

63.29.Cu

B. the copper isotope with 36 neutrons

X = Cu

Atomic Number of Copper, Z = 29

Mass Number, A = 29 + 36 = 65

65.29.Cu

C. the potassium isotope with 21 neutrons

X = K

Atomic Number of Potassium, Z = 19

Mass Number, A = 19 + 21 = 40

40.19.K

D. the argon isotope with 22 neutrons

X = Ar

Atomic Number of Argon, Z = 18

Mass Number, A = 18 + 22 = 40

40.18.Ar
