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!

The reaction CO2(g) → C(s) + O2(g) is a decomposition reaction.<br><br> True<br> False
Lyrx [107]

  The reaction CO₂(g)  → C(s) +O₂(g)  is  a decomposition  reaction is true

Explanation

 A Decomposition reaction is a reaction in which involve breaking down  a compound into   two or more  simpler  substances.

 The reaction above is a decomposition reaction since CO₂    molecule is broken down  into C (an  element) and O₂  (a  molecule).

How much heat is needed to melt 10.0 grams of ice at -10°C until it is water at 10°C?
zhannawk [14.2K]

The heat needed to melt 10.0 grams of ice at -10°C until it is water at 10°C is 3,969.5 J. (approx= 3963J).

<h3>What is Sensible heat? </h3><h3 />

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state.

Q= c×m×∆T

<h3>What is Latent heat? </h3><h3 />

Latent heat is defined as the energy required by a quantity of substance to change state.

When this change consists of changing from a solid to a liquid phase, it is called heat of fusion and when the change occurs from a liquid to a gaseous state, it is called heat of vaporization.

In this case, the heat Q that is necessary to provide for a mass m of a certain substance to change phase is equal to

Q= m×L

Where,

L is the latent heat

<h3>-10°C to 0 °C</h3><h3 />

C= specific heat capacity of ice= 2.108 J/gK

M= 10 g

ΔT= T(final)– T(initial) = 0 °C – (-10 °C)= 10 °C= 10 K

Sensitive heat Q(1) = 2.108×10×10

= 210.8J

<h3>Heat needed to melt ice</h3><h3 />

The specific heat of melting of ice is 334 J/g, the heat needed to melt 10 grams of ice is

Q(2) = 10× 334

= 3340J

<h3>0°C to 10 °C</h3><h3 />

C= specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.187 J/gK

M= 10 g

ΔT= T(final) – T(initial) = 10 °C – 0 °C= 10 °C= 10 K because being a temperature difference, the difference is the same in °C and K.

Q(3) = 4.187×10×10

= 418.7 J.

Total heat required= Q1 + Q2 + Q3

Total heat required= 210.8 J + 3,340 J + 418.7 J

= 3969.5J

Thus, the heat needed to melt 10 gram of ice from temperature-10°C to 10°C is 3969.5. Therefore, option B is correct option.
