Anna11 [10]2 years ago
3 0

The melting point of ice is 0 degrees Celcius, which means it exists as a liquid for any temperatures above 0 degrees. The melting point of salt is approximately 800 degrees Celcius, which is way greater than the melting point of ice. This means that for temperatures below 800 degrees, salt exists as a solid.

The temperature of the area where they were placed we can assume was somewhere between 0 and 800 degrees, greater than the melting point of ice but less than the melting point of salt. This why the ice melted but the salt did not.

I hope this helps!

A location along stream where most erosions occur
vagabundo [1.1K]

At the end of the reaction you washed the chemicals into a beaker using water. Why was it OK to use water to do this if Grignard
lesya692 [45]

Answer: water could be used to wash it since the reaction has ended.

Explanation:

There will be no reaction of water with the Grignard reagent since the reaction has ended, as it is well known that water is a universal solvent for washing of glasswares after experiments but if it is during the reaction it will be more advisable to rinse with alcohol to enhance more accuracy during the experiment

Answer:

 i would assume that it would be (a)

Explanation:

The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion

NUCLEAR FISSION is when the heavy atom is split

fusion energy is scientifically feasible. Plasma conditions that are very close to those required in a fusion reactor are now routinely reached in experiments

mass gets lost is nuclear fusion

so (a) is the most accurate
