It's January in Nashville and your local weather station just informed you that the temperature outside is
15.4°F. You estimate the amount of ice on your driveway to be approximately 30 kg. What is the minimum amount
of sodium chloride in kilograms (kg) needed to lower the freezing point of the water so that the ice melts?

3.84 Kg of sodium chloride is needed to lower the freezing point of the water so that ice melts.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of ice = 30 Kg

molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 grams/mole

ΔT(depression in freezing point) = 15.4 F  or - 9.22 degrees

Kf = 1.86 degree C/ mole

Molality = ?

mass of NaCl =?

i = 2 (because NaCl breaks into 2 ions)

ΔT = iKfm      equation 1

Depression in freezing point when ice melts, the temperature is 0 degrees so

the depression in temperature = 9.22 degrees

putting the values in the equation:

9.22 = 2 x 1.86 x x

mass = 3.84 kg of NaCl will be required to lower the freezing point of the water so that the ice melts.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
