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.

Determine which equations you would use to solve the following problem: Calculate the amount of heat needed to change 20.0 g of
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Q = 4019.4 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ice = 20.0 g

Initial temperature = -10°C

Final temperature = 89.0°C

Amount of heat required = ?

Solution:

specific heat capacity of ice is 2.03 J/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT =  89.0°C - (-10°C)

ΔT = 99°C

Q = 20.0 g ×2.03 J/g.°C × 99°C

Q = 4019.4 J

a chemist wishes to mix some pure acid with some water to produce 16L of a solution that is 30% acid how much pure acid and how
Aloiza [94]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of acid and water that must be mixed will be 4.8 L and 11.2 L

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Volume of mixture = 16 L

Percent of acid present = 30 %

Calculating the percentage of acid present in the mixture:

\Rightarrow 16\times \frac{30}{100}=4.8L

The mixture is made entirely of acid and water.

Volume of acid in the mixture = 4.8 L

Volume of water in the mixture = 16 - 4.8 = 11.2 L

Hence, the volume of acid and water that must be mixed will be 4.8 L and 11.2 L

A horse gallops along a racecourse at a speed of 40 km/h. It takes the horse 3 minutes to run the length of the track.
Natali [406]

To convert minutes to hours we divide the minutes by 60. So if we divide 3 by 60 we get 0.05 hours.

<h3>How to convert minutes into hour?</h3>

We know that in hour, there are 60 minutes so if we go from minutes to hours then we have to divide the number by 60 and when we go from hours to minutes we multiply with the same 60 number.

So we can conclude that to convert minutes to hours we divide the minutes by 60. So if we divide 3 by 60 we get 0.05 hours.
