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!

Why do molecules change speed
Anna [14]

Answer:

Molecules change speed based on temperature and state of matter. The warmer they are, the faster they move and vice versa. Solids are at a lower temperature than gases and liquids, which means the molecules are moving slower, and hold together better, also explaining why solids aren't malleable.

A mole of Big Macs stacked would reach from the earth to the moon and back how many times?
OLga [1]
A mol=6.02*10^23
so
distance from earth to moon is 230,100 miles
1 big mac is about 2 inches
1 mile=5280 feet=63360inches

230,100 times 63360=14,579,136,000 inches is distance
6.02 times 10^23 times 2=x times 14,579,136,000
divide both sides by 2
6.02 times 10^23=x times 7,289,568,000
divide both sides by 6.02
10^23=x times 1210891694.35159
divide both sides by  1210891694.35159
825583769024485.8
about 825,583,769,024,486 times

A gas sample at stp contains 1.15 g oxygen gas and 1.55 g nitrogen gas.what is the volume of the gas sample?
ss7ja [257]
O2=32 g/ mol
1.15/32=0.035
N2=28 g/mol
1.55/28=0.055
in STP every 22.4 litters is 1 mol
