Which of the following is widely used for treating ice on roads, particularly in very cold countries?A. `BaCl_(2)`B. `CaCl_(2)`C. `MgCl_(2)`D. `SrCl_(2)` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Because as 30% eutectic mixture of `CaCl_(2)//H_(2)O` freezes at `-55^(@)C` compared with `NaCl//H_(2)O` at `-18^(@)C,CaCl_(2)` is also used to make concrete set more quickly and to improve its strenght and as brine in refrigeration plants. A minor use is in laboratories as a desiccant (dryign agent). Anhydrous `MgCl_(2)` is important in the electrolytic method for extracting Mg. |
