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

Chemistry

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.

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The rate constant of a certain reaction is known to obey the Arrhenius equation, and to have an activation energy Ea = 71.0 kJ/mol . If the rate constant of this reaction is 6.7 M^(-1)*s^(-1) at 244.0 degrees Celsius, what will the rate constant be at 324.0 degrees Celsius?

<u>Answer:</u> The rate constant at 324°C is 61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate rate constant at two different temperatures of the reaction, we use Arrhenius equation, which is:

\ln(\frac{K_{324^oC}}{K_{244^oC}})=\frac{E_a}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]

where,

K_{244^oC} = equilibrium constant at 244°C = 6.7M^{-1}s^{-1}

K_{324^oC} = equilibrium constant at 324°C = ?

E_a = Activation energy = 71.0 kJ/mol = 71000 J/mol   (Conversion factor:  1 kJ = 1000 J)

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

T_1 = initial temperature = 244^oC=[273+244]K=517K

T_2 = final temperature = 324^oC=[273+324]K=597K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\ln(\frac{K_{324^oC}}{6.7})=\frac{71000J}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{517}-\frac{1}{597}]\\\\K_{324^oC}=61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}

Hence, the rate constant at 324°C is 61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}

Estimate your de Broglie wavelength when you are running. (For this problem use h = 10^−34 in SI units and 1 lb is equivalent to
AlekseyPX

Answer:

A. your running speed 1.5 m/s

B. your mass 70 kg

C. your de Broglie wavelength 6.32x10^{-36}m

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the equation for the calculation of the Broglie wavelength is:

\lambda =\frac{h}{m*v}

We can assume a running speed of about 1.5 m/s and a mass of 70 kg, so the resulting Broglie wavelength is:

\lambda =\frac{6.626x10^{-34}kg\frac{m}{s} }{70kg*1.5\frac{m}{s} }\\\\\lambda =6.32x10^-36m

Best regards!
