1. Rock Salt is composed of the same ionic compound as table salt: sodium chloride. Answer the
following questions about this compound:
Formula
i value
Formula mass
2. A student puts 1.25 kg of ice in an ice cream maker with 350 g of rock salt. All the ice eventually
becomes liquid water as the rock salt dissolves. Solve for the molality of the solution, then for its
new freezing temperature.

3. A certain ice cream maker contains 1.70 kg of ice/water. Rock salt is added until the temperature of
the solution drops to -15.7ºC. Use this new freezing point to solve for the molality of the solution,
then for the number of grams of sodium chloride used.
