chemical reaction does different types of salt have on the ice. Salt melts ice mainly because adding salt lowers the freezing point of the water. Pure water freezes at 32°F (0°C). Water with salt (or any other substance in it) will freeze at some lower temperature. The normal freezing point of water is 0 degrees Celsius‚ so if the temperature is above that then ice will melt. When salt and water are mixed together‚ the salt dissolves‚ which means the salt breaks into small particles that thoroughly

Subject: Chemistry SL Title: Preparation of a salt (lead iodide) by using precipitation method. Aim: To produce 1.50 g of lead iodide‚ PbI2‚ assuming 100 % conversion‚ using 1.00 g solid potassium iodide‚ KI‚ and 0.1 M lead nitrate‚ Pb(NO3)2 solution of volume 30 cm3 and hence calculate percentage yield. Calculations: 2KI(s) + Pb(NO3)2( aq) —> PbI2 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq) Mass of PbI2 to be produced = 1.5 g Moles of PbI2 = = 0.003 Moles of KI = 0.003*2 = 0.006 Mass of KI = 0.006*166 = 1.00 g
