Question:
Which of the following substances - {eq}CaCl_2, MgCl_2, NaCl, KCl {/eq} - will be most effective at melting ice? Explain your reasoning.
Colligative Properties:
Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the amount of solute dissolved in the solvent and not on the identity of the solute. The colligative properties include freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and vapor pressure lowering.
