Recall that you are on the board of trustees for a Wisconsin township that frequently experiences winter temperatures of -16 °C. You are responsible for ensuring that the city’s 30,000 residents are able to travel safely in even the coldest and iciest conditions. You must decide if the city purchases the pre-prepared ice melt blend or proposes a new blend for use in winter 2022. You must consider environmental impact, lowest effective temperature, cost, and your experimental results in your decision. Of note, the pre-prepared blend would simplify logistics for the city, but the company’s price includes a $5/ton mixing fee; if you create your own blend, the cost would simply be calculated from the 2022 projected prices of pure compounds in Table 2.1 plus the $5/ton mixing fee.
Would you recommend the city purchase the pre-prepared blend or change the percent composition of blended ice melt? Regardless of which choice you recommend, you must include the following in your response:
- percent composition for your recommended ice melt
- price per ton (You do not need to show your work)
- why this ice melt is ideal from an environmental impact perspective
- will the lowest effective temperature meet the needs of the Wisconsin township?
-
- You do not need to calculate a new lowest effective temperature.
-
- use your experimental results to support your response.
