Putting rock salt on the roads during a snowstorm is an example of: A. Boiling point elevation B. Vapor pressure raising C. Vapo

r pressure lowering D. Freezing point depression
Chemistry
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is - D. Freezing point depression.

Explanation:

When rock salt is spread over snow-covered icy roads, it generates a liquid layer over it by melting from the surface thereby lowering or depression in the freezing point below the ice.

Therefore, due to this liquid layer comes into the contact with the ice present on the road and causes other ice to melts. This keeps on decreasing the volume of the ice on the road therefore, rock salts spread on the roads during a snowstorm.

The stockroom has provided you with a 1.70 MM stock solution of NaCl NaCl. What volume of this stock solution would be required
bearhunter [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of stock NaCl solution needed is 23 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of the diluted solution, we use the equation:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the molarity and volume of the stock NaCl solution

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the molarity and volume of diluted NaCl solution

We are given:

M_1=1.70M\\V_1=?mL\\M_2=0.170M\\V_2=230mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.70\times V_1=0.170\times 230\\\\V_1=\frac{0.170\times 230}{1.70}=23mL

Hence, the volume of stock NaCl solution needed is 23 mL

Arrange the steps in order to describe how photons and carbon dioxide contribute to the warming of earth
adell [148]

Answer:

The steps are arranged in the following order, describing how carbon dioxide and photons  impact the earth's warming.

Explanation:

The sequence is in the following order;

  1. The sun radiated sunlight (visible) photons
  2. Photons from the sun strike the earth and become infrared photons
  3. Earth radiates infrared photons into the atmosphere
  4. CO2 in the atmosphere absorb infrared photons
  5. CO2 in the atmosphere emit infrared photons back towards earth

Carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules can absorb energy from infrared (IR) radiation. Due to vibrations caused by this absorption, the CO2 molecules later release extra energy by emitting another infrared photon.

This ability of CO2 molecules to absorb and re-emit infrared energy is what makes it an effective heat-trapping greenhouse gas.
