Answer:

Arsenic.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).

In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.

Best regards!

How does salt help melt the road?​
QveST [7]

Lower the melting point

Explanation:

Salts helps to melt road by lowering the melting point. It acts as an impurity and generally, impurities low the melting point of substances.

Salts are used as an antifreeze.

  • Water freezes at 0°C and forms ice/snow which can impede human and vehicular movement.
  • When salt is added, it causes the depression of the freezing point by lowering it further.
  • The freezing point is pegged back at -6°C.
  • This way it takes more low temperature to freeze the water.
  • The salt acts as an impurity and causes the depression of melting point and widening of the melting range.
