You can boil the salt water. The water will evaporate while the salt will be left behind because it's a solid. Salt has a much higher boiling point than water (2,575° F), so that's why it won't evaporate with the water.
Answer: 20.7 kJ
Explanation:
According to first law of thermodynamics:
=Change in internal energy
q = heat absorbed or released
w = work done or by the system
w = work done on the system=
{Work is done on the system is positive as the final volume is lesser than initial volume}
w = 4.51 kcal =
(1kcal = 4.184kJ)
q = +1.79 kJ {Heat absorbed by the system is positive}

Thus
for a system that receives 1.79 kJ of heat from surroundings and has 4.51 kcal of work done on it at the same time is 20.7 kJ
So in one hour half the amount remains (that's what half life means). In two hours 1/4 (or half of half) would remain and in three hours 1/8 would remain.
So the answer is 1/8
This I believe would be double covalent bonds
