Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for this purpose too. Let us compare the effectiveness of equal masses of these two compounds in lowering the freezing point of water, by calculating the freezing point depression of solutions containing 200. g of each salt in 1.00 kg of water.

A disadvantage is that this compound is more costly.)arrow_forwardA solution is prepared by mixing 0.0300 mole of CH2Cl2 and 0.0500 mole of CH2Br2 at 25C.
