Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
3. Sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and urea have all been used to melt ice from sidewalks. If each of these substances costs the same per kilogram, which would be the most effective ice melter? (There are environmental considerations, too, but we will neglect those here!) Show your work and support your choice with evidence.
a. N₂H₄CO (urea)
b. NaCl

- 20.) You want to raise the temperature of ice at 0 degrees Celsius to steam at 110 degrees O Celsius. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/Cg. The specific heat of steam is 2.01 J/Cg, and the specific heat of ice is 2.03 J/Cg. Ice has a heat of fusion at 334 J/g and water has a heat of vaporization of 2260 J/g.
