Answer: Depression in Freezing Point

Explanation: When salt is kept on the icy roads, it will form a liquid layer over it thereby lowering the freezing point below the ice. Thus when this salty liquid comes into the contact with the other ice present on the road making the other ice get melt.

This keeps on decreasing the olume of the ice on the road.

Thus it is always advised to put rock salts on the roads during a snowstorm.

The answer could honestly be as simple as "Putting rock salt on the roads during a snowstorm is an example of a chemical reaction" but due to lack of context I'm not sure, hope this helps anyways!

Identify the balanced chemical equation that represents a single displacement reaction. CF4 2Br2 ⟶ CBr4 2F2 3H2SO4 2Al ⟶ Al2(SO4

Simora [160]

Answer:

3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

Explanation:

3H₂SO₄ + 2Al₂(SO₄)₃ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

In this type of reaction, one substance is replacing another:

A + BC → AC + B

In a single displacement reaction, atoms replace one another based on the activity series. Elements that are higher in the activity series. Also, if the element that is to replace the other in a compound is more reactive the reaction will occur. If it is less reactive, there will be no reation.

In the first equation, fluorine is more reactive than bromine. Therefore, bromine cannot replace bromine.

In the second equation, the displacement is between hydrogen and aluminium. Hydrogen is lower in the activity series, this implies that aluminum will replace it.

How many atoms are there in 8.88 g Si?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.90 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many atoms are in 8.88 grams of silicon.

<h3>1. Grams to Moles </h3>

First, we convert grams to moles. We use the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. These values are found on the Periodic Table as they are equal to the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.

Look up silicon's molar mass.

Si: 28.085 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a conversion factor with the molar mass.

$\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

We are converting 8.88 grams of silicon to moles, so we multiply by this value.

$8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac { 28.085 \ g \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$

Flip the fraction so the units of grams of silicon cancel.

$8.88 \ g \ Si *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 \ g \ Si}$

$8.88 *\frac{1 \ mol \ Si} { 28.085 }$

$\frac {8.88} { 28.085 } \ mol \ Si$

$0.316183015845 \ mol \ Si$

<h3>2. Moles to Atoms </h3>

Next, we convert moles to atoms. We use Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of silicon.

Set up another conversion factor.

$\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ Si}{1 \ mol \ Si}$
