Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used to melt ice on roads during the winter. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for t

his purpose too. Let us compare the effectiveness of equal masses of these two compounds in lowering the freezing point of water by calculating the freezing point depression of solutions containing 220. g of each salt in 1.00 kg of water. (An advantage of is that it acts more quickly because it is hygroscopic, that is, it absorbs moisture from the air to create a solution and begin the process. A disadvantage is that this compound is more costly.) Assume full dissociation of ionic compounds. Kfp(H2O)= -1.86 °C/m.
ΔTfp= _________°C for NaCl
ΔTfp=_________ °C for CaCl2

Answer:

\Delta Tfp_{NaCl}= -14.0\°C\\\\\Delta Tfp_{CaCl_2}=-11.1\°C

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the freezing point depression caused by the addition of a solute, we use the following formula:

\Delta Tfp= i*m*Kfp

Thus, we first need to compute the molality of each solute, as shown below:

m_{NaCl}=\frac{220.g/(58.44g/mol)}{1.00kg} =3.76m\\\\m_{CaCl_2}=\frac{220.g/(110.98g/mol)}{1.00kg} =1.98m

Next, since NaCl has two ionic species, one Na⁺ and one Cl⁻, and CaCl₂ three, one Ca²⁺ and two Cl⁻, the van't Hoff's factors are 2 and 3 respectively, therefore the freezing point depressions turn out:

\Delta Tfp_{NaCl}= 2*3.76m*-1.86\°C/m=-14.0\°C\\\\\Delta Tfp_{CaCl_2}= 3*1.98m*-1.86\°C/m=-11.1\°C

It means that CaCl₂ is still better than NaCl because produces involves a higher melting point for the ice, so it would melt faster.

Best regards!

For the following systems at equilibrium C: CaCO3(s) ⇌ CaO(s)+CO2(g) ΔH=+178 kJ/mol D: PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) ΔH=−88 kJ/mol cl

Explanation:

C: CaCO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons CaO(s)+CO_2(g)ΔH=+178 kJ/mol

For an endothermic reaction, heat is getting absorbed during a chemical reaction and is written on the reactant side.

A+\text{heat}\rightleftharpoons B

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.  This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Treat heat as a reactant and on increasing a reactant at equilibrium, shifts the reaction in the forward direction.

Increase temperature →  increase in heat → forward direction

Decrease temperature →  decease in heat → backward direction

System C - Increase temperature : Reaction will move forward

System C - Decrease temperature : Reaction will move backward

D: PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g) ΔH=−88 kJ/mol

The total enthalpy of the reaction comes out to be negative .

The temperature of the surrounding will increase.

For an exothermic reaction, heat is released during a chemical reaction and is written on the product side.

A\rightleftharpoons B+\text{ heat}

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.  This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Treat heat as a product and on increasing a product at equilibrium, shifts the reaction in the backward direction.

Increase temperature →  increase in heat → backward direction

Decrease temperature →  decease in heat → forward direction

System D - Increase temperature : Reaction will move backward

System D - Decrease temperature : Reaction will move forward

What is mass of 0.6 molC4H10
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

35 gm

Explanation:

What is mass of 0.6 mol C4H10

C4H10 has a molar nass of

(4X12) (10

X 1) = 48 + 10 8

so 1 mole of C4H10 is 58 gm

so 0.6 moles is

(0.6 X58) = 35 gm
