Oksanka [162]3 years ago

Answer:

5.625 grams

Explanation:

Start your equation with what you have been given.  Place the units you need in your answer on the right side of the equal sign.

225mg

-----------   X  -----------   X ------------- =   ?   g

   lb

Now start to fill in your equation and use a conversions to get rid of the units you don't want.  Convert mg into grams first.  The child's weight (25 lb) is placed over 1 just to get the equation lined up properly so you can see how the units cancel out.

225 mg                 1 g                  25 lb            5.625 g

---------------   X   ---------------  X   -------------  =   ---------------

   lb                    1000 mg                 1                  1

The lb on the top and bottom cancel each other out and you are left with just grams.  Even though it is over one, that is the same at just 5.625 grams.

Why is calcium chloride (rock salt, CaCl2) more effective than sodium chloride (table salt, NaCl) at de-icing roads in the winte
Tema [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. Calcium chloride breaks into 3 ions, while sodium chloride only breaks into 2 ions

Explanation:

To help melt the ice on icy streets, calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is a more preferred salt type to sodium chloride (NaCl) as when it dissociates into ions in the ice, it forms three ions: a calcium ion, Ca²⁺, and two chloride ions, 2 Cl⁻, while sodium chloride forms two ions: one sodium ion, Na⁺, and one chloride ion, Cl⁻

According to the freezing point depression equation, we have;

ΔT = K_f × m × i

Where;

ΔT = Change in freezing point temperature

K_f = The freezing point depression constant

m = The solution's molality

i = van't Hoff factor

The calcium chloride salt will cause the most depression because the van't Hoff factor is 3 for calcium chloride and 2 for sodium chloride.
