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.

"Atoms of magnesium and oxygen form ions and ionic bonds "The difference is that instead of having each atom gain or lose one el
Tanzania [10]

Explanation:

Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2. To attain noble gas configuration it is necessary for the magnesium atom to lose two valence electrons and therefore, it forms Mg^{2+} ions.

On the other hand, atomic number of oxygen atom is 8 and its electronic distribution is 2, 6. To attain noble gas configuration it needs to gain two electrons. And, on gaining the electrons it forms O^{2-} ions.

Hence, when both magnesium and oxygen ions chemically combine with each other then it forms the compound magnesium oxide (MgO).

This is because magnesium transfer its two valence electrons to the oxygen atom and due to the formation of opposite charges on these atoms they get attracted towards each other.

Convert each quantity to the indicated units. a. 3.01g to cg. b. 6200m to km
miss Akunina [59]

a. 301 cg

b. 6.2 km

Explanation:

a. knowing that 1 gram (g) is equal to 100 centigrams (cg) we devise the following reasoning:

if        1 g is equal to 100 cg

then  3.01 g are equal to X cg

X = (3.01 × 100) / 1 = 301 cg

b. knowing that 1 kilometer (km) is equal to 1000 meters (m) we devise the following reasoning:

if         1 km is equal to 1000 m

then   Y km are equal to 6200 m

Y = (6200 × 1) / 1000 = 6.2 km

how many milliliters of 1.50 m hno3 contain enough nitric acid to dissolve an old copper penny with a mass of 3.94 g?
Lerok [7]
Molar mass HNO₃ = 63.0 g/mol

number of moles = 3.94 / 63.0 => 0.0625 moles

Volume = moles / molarity

V = 0.0625 / 1.50

V = 0.04166 L x 1000 = 41.66 mL

hope this helps!
