Problem 11-95 |
To know if the salt can melt the ice, calculate the freezing point depression of water with CaCl2 at maximum concentration (74.5 g CaCl2 / 100 g water)
Then, check if Tf - ΔTf < road temperature.
If so, the salt is effective to melt the ice.
The solvent is water (ice) therefore Kf = 1.86 °C.kg.mol-1
F = (°C × 1.8) + 32
