A student lives in a place that receives lots of snow and ice during the winter. The student has observed that the highway depar

tment spreads salt on the road after a snowfall. Which of the following correctly explains why the highway department uses salt on the roads?
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which makes the melted snow on the road less likely to form ice.

Salt raises the freezing point of water, which makes the melted snow on the road less likely to form ice.

Salt raises the vapor pressure of water, which makes the melted snow more likely to evaporate before it freezes.

Salt lowers the osmotic pressure of water, which makes the melted snow more likely to be absorbed into the ground before it freezes.

Check all items common to bases.<br> minerals<br> metal<br> gas<br> H+<br> OH-<br> nitrogen
Darya [45]

OH- is common to bases.

Explanation:

The base is a is an ionic compounds which when placed in aqueous solution dissociates in to a cation and an anion OH-.

The presence of OH- in the solution shows that the solution is basic or alkaline.

From Bronsted and Lowry concept base is a molecule that accepts a proton for example in NaOH, Na is a proton donor and OH is the proton acceptor.

A base accepts hydrogen ion and the concentration of OH is always higher in base.

There is a presence of conjugate acid and conjugate base in the Bronsted and Lowry acid and base.

Conjugate acid is one which is formed when a base gained a proton.

Conjugate base is one which is formed when an acid looses a proton.

And from the Arrhenius base Theory, the base is one that dissociates in to water as OH-.

Calculate the [oh] for 0.46 Hcl
Bad White [126]

Answer:

2.17 e -14

Explanation:

A strong acid like HCl ionize 100 % in water so [H3O+] = 0.46 M

[OH-] = Kw /  [H3O+]

        =  1.0 e -14 / 0.46

         = 2.17 e -14

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The molecular formula of estradiol is: C_{18}H_{24}O_2.

Explanation:

Molar mass of of estradiol = M= 272.37 g/mol

Let the molecular formula of estradiol be C_xH_yO_z

Percentage of an element in a compound:

\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of element}}\times 100

Percentage of carbon in estradiol  :

\frac{x\times 12 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=79.37\%

x = 18.0

Percentage of hydrogen in estradiol  :

\frac{y\times 1g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=8.88\%

y = 24.2 ≈ 24

Percentage of oxygen in estradiol  :

\frac{z\times 16 g/mol}{272.37 g/mol}\times 100=11.75\%

z = 2

The molecular formula of estradiol is: C_xH_yO_z:C_{18}H_{24}O_2
