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

Chemistry
1 answer:
g100num [7]3 years ago
3 0

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.

A schoolbus accelerates to 65 mph and enters the freeway. It travels
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Distance cover by school bus = 149.5 miles

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of school bus = 65 mph

Time taken by school bus = 2.3 hours

Find:

Distance cover by school bus

Computation:

Distance cover = Velocity x Time taken

Distance cover by school bus = Velocity of school bus x Time taken by school bus

Distance cover by school bus = 65 x 2.3

Distance cover by school bus = 149.5 miles

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Option a → 4 mol NH₃

Explanation:

This the unbalanced reaction

NH₃  +  O₂  ⟶  N₂  +  H₂O

The balanced reaction:

4NH₃  +  3O₂  →  2N₂  +  6H₂O

4 mol of ammonia

3 mol of oxygen

If I use the dropper to add 10 mL of drink mix to 50 mL of water, what is the
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

16.7%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of drink mix = 10 mL

Volume of water = 50 mL

Percentage of drink mix =?

Next, we shall determine the total volume of the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of drink mix = 10 mL

Volume of water = 50 mL

Total volume of solution =?

Total volume of solution = (Volume of drink mix) + (Volume of water)

Total volume of solution = 10 + 50

Total volume of solution = 60 mL

Finally, we shall determine the percentage of the drink mix in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of drink mix = 10 mL

Total volume of solution = 60 mL

Percentage of drink mix =?

Percentage of drink mix = Vol. of drink mix / total volume × 100

Percentage of drink mix = 10/60 × 100

Percentage of drink mix = 16.7%

Which symbol can be used to indicate the pressure at which a chemical reaction is carried out? 25 degrees Celsius over a right a
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

2 atm

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are carried out at a certain rate. Sometimes that rate is quite slow, so we want to speed things up, which is usually used by increasing temperature, increasing pressure or adding a catalyst (a substance that increases the rate without changing itself).

If this is the case, then, when writing a chemical equation, we state these special conditions over a right arrow.

Now let's look at the answers:

- 25°C is a value and unit of temperature

- ∆ is a symbol that denotes change

- 2 atm is a value and unit of pressure (atmosphere is old unit for pressure)

- Pt is a chemical symbol for platinum, an element often used as a catalyst.

So, the correct answer is C) 2 atm
