Water containing more than 3.0 grains of dissolved solids per gallon is considered to be hard [1 grain (gr) = 64.8 mg]. So, if a

kettle contains 18 gal of tap water, which is allowed to evaporate. The solid material left behind has a mass of 1.7 g. Is such tap water considered to be hard?

Answer:

  • <em><u>Yes, such tap water is considered to be hard.</u></em>

Explanation:

The <em>solid material left behind</em>, after the <em>18 gal of tap water</em> was <em>evaporated,</em> is the amount of dissolved solids in that quantity of water.

You must convert the amount in grams (1.7g) into grains:

  • 17.g × 1,000mg/g × 1 gr/64.8mg = 262.34 gr

That is in 18 gallons. Then, divide by 18 gal to obtain the number of grains dissolved per gallon:

  • 262.34gr / 18 gal ≈ 15 gr per gallon.

That is much greater than 3.0 grains per gallon; thus,<em> such tap water is considered to be hard.</em>

Which cup has more thermal energy?
dybincka [34]

<em>Question: </em><em>Which cup has more thermal energy?</em>

<em>                   A. 2 liter cup of milk</em>

<em>                   B. 1 liter cup of milk</em>

<em>Answer: A. 2 liter cup of milk</em>

<em />

<em>Explanation:</em>

We have milk in both of the containers. The milk in both containers is the same temperature, so we will have to measure the amount of molecules. The amount of molecules makes it warmer, and if it is warmer, that is more energy. 2 liters have more thermal energy than 1 liter, because it has more molecules.

Our answer is 2 liter cup of milk.

Briefly explain why adding salt to icy roads helps melt the ice and prevent it from freezing again.
g100num [7]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The melting point (the temperature that it changes from solid to liquid) of a pure substance depends on its mass, the forces between its molecules, and the pressure of the system.

The melting point, or the freezing point, of a mixture, is a temperature between the melting point of its components. Salt has a huge negative melting point, so when it is added to the water, the melting point decreases from 0ºC to -21ºC approximately.

So, the water will only freeze again if the temperature becomes below -21ºC which is very difficult to happen.
