Calcium chloride dissociates and gets in between the water molecules. Its kind of like trying to stack a bunch of books with marbles in between.

What is the freezing point of calcium chloride?

The freezing point of calcium chloride is around -50 degrees Celsius.


Does calcium chloride affect the temperature of water?

Yes, calcium chloride increases the temperature of water.


Compared to the pure water an aqueous solution of calcium chloride has a?

Higher boiling point and a lower freezing point. These are called colligative properties. When a solute is put into solution with the solvent, there is a change in the vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, elevation of the boiling point, and depression of the freezing point.


Why calcium chloride added in sodium chloride to lower the melting point?

The heat of dissolution for calcium chloride in water is greater compared with the same paremeter for sodium chloride; consequently the process of dissolution need more heat from the environment and the freezing point of the water solution is lower.


Does calcium chloride raise or lower boiling point and freezing point of water at standard pressure?

The boiling point will increase with the addition of CaCl. I did an experiment where I added 13.002g of CaCl to 30mL of H2O and it raised the boiling point to 112oC. The initial reaction of CaCl and water produces heat in itself. The solution I used raised the water temperature to 75oC before the heat source was added to the water. I haven't experimented with the freezing point yet but I am assuming it will lower it because Calcium Chloride is an ionic salt and there is a tendency in ionic salts to lower the freezing point.


Which ionic compound will lower the freezing point if 1 mol of it is added to 1 litter of water?

Adding 1 mol of any ionic compound, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) or calcium chloride (CaCl2), to 1 liter of water will lower the freezing point of the solution. This is because the presence of the dissolved ions disrupts the hydrogen bonding between water molecules, reducing the freezing point of the solution compared to pure water.


What ionic compound will lower the freezing point the most if 1 mol of it is added to 1 L of water?

A compound that dissociates into more ions when dissolved in water will have a greater freezing point depression. For example, calcium chloride (CaCl2) will lower the freezing point more than sodium chloride (NaCl) because it dissociates into three ions (Ca2+ and 2Cl-) compared to sodium chloride, which dissociates into two ions (Na+ and Cl-).


What salt is used in antifreeze to melt ice?

The type of salt commonly used in antifreeze to melt ice is calcium chloride. It has a lower freezing point than water, making it effective in preventing the formation of ice in freezing temperatures.


What is the freezing point of an aquerous 2.65m calcium chloride Solution?

-14.8 degrees Celsius


When compared to pure water what will a 0.5 M solution of potassium chloride have a. lower boiling point b. lower freezing point c. higher capor pressure d. lower osmotic pressure?

b. lower freezing point A 0.5 M solution of potassium chloride will have a lower freezing point compared to pure water due to the presence of solute particles which disrupt the formation of ice crystals.


How does the amount of salt in a solution affect its freezing point?

Increasing the concentration of sodium chloride in water the freezing point is lower.


What is the freezing point of an aqueous 2.65 m calcium chloride CaCl2 solution?

The freezing point of a 2.65 m calcium chloride (CaCl2) solution is approximately -5.4°C. This can be calculated using the Van't Hoff factor for CaCl2 as 3 (since it dissociates into 3 ions), in combination with the formula for freezing point depression.
