Answer:
The correct option is;
D. Calcium chloride breaks into 3 ions, while sodium chloride only breaks into 2 ions
Explanation:
To help melt the ice on icy streets, calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is a more preferred salt type to sodium chloride (NaCl) as when it dissociates into ions in the ice, it forms three ions: a calcium ion, Ca²⁺, and two chloride ions, 2 Cl⁻, while sodium chloride forms two ions: one sodium ion, Na⁺, and one chloride ion, Cl⁻
According to the freezing point depression equation, we have;
ΔT =
× m × i
Where;
ΔT = Change in freezing point temperature
= The freezing point depression constant
m = The solution's molality
i = van't Hoff factor
The calcium chloride salt will cause the most depression because the van't Hoff factor is 3 for calcium chloride and 2 for sodium chloride.
Sorry if i’m late but your answer should be infrared
Answer:
Explanation:
Basically in metallic bonds, valence electrons are not localied which means they can freely move from one atom to another. Thus, they move in "sea of electrons" because in a sea water or waves are freely moving without any localization.
Hope that helps.
