You have at your disposal 3 1-pound bags of various pure salts that dissolve readily in water. You can add one of the bags to a 55 gallon barrel of water. Which bag should you use to lower the freezing point by the greatest amount? (1 lb. = 0.454 kg)

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

However, it should be noted that addition of soluble salts generally lowers the freezing point of water hence after the addition, water will no longer freeze at 0°C but lower.

Soluble salts tend to form more ions in water, it is these ions that are responsible for interfering with the hydrogen bonds hence lowering the freezing. Thus, (since each bag are of the same weight) the bag that contains the salt that ionizes more in water will lower the freezing point by the greatest amount.

NOTE: Different weight of the salts could lead to more ions been formed in the water by some salts as against the other.

answer; ///(u-235); ///is the correct

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.
