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!

It takes 5.2 minutes for a 4.0 g sample of francium-210 to decay until only 1.0 g is left. What is the half-life of francium-210
vodomira [7]
<span>This problem is not about chemistry it is about math. the half-life of a certain thing is the time that it needs to decay 50% of what it had before. so if there is 4g, after 1 half there will be only 2g. so to become 1g it is passed 2 half-lives. 4,0g, 2,0g, 1,0g so it is the time divided by 2( numbers of half-lives). So the half-life of Francium 210 is 2,6 min.</span>

How many minutes will it take for a car traveling 74 miles per hour to cover 6.50 kilometers?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

                     3.27 minutes

Explanation:

                    To solve this problem we will first convert miles/hour to km/min. For this purpose we will require following reference conversions as;

                     1 Mile  =  1.60934 Km

And,

                     1 Hour  =  60 min

Therefore,

As,

                     1 Mile  =  1.60934 Km

Then,

                      74 Miles  =  X Km

Solving for X,

                      X  =  74 miles × 1.60934 Km ÷ 1 mile                      

                      X =  119.10 Km

Therefore,

                      119.10 Km were travelled in  =  60 min

So,

                      6.50 Km will be travelled in   =  X min

Solving for X,

                     X  =  60 min × 6.50 Km ÷ 119.10 Km

                     X  =  3.27 minutes

How do i find the molar mass of NaOh and Cr(C2H3O2)? i'm a little stuck =/?
Pachacha [2.7K]
M_{NaOH}=23\frac{g}{mol}+16\frac{g}{mol}+1\frac{g}{mol}=40\frac{g}{mol}\\\\&#10;M_{Cr(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})3}=52\frac{g}{mol}+3*(2*12\frac{g}{mol}+3*1\frac{g}{mol}+2*16\frac{g}{mol})=\\\\=229\frac{g}{mol}
