HELP!!!!!!!!

One use of CaCl 2 to salt roads in the winter. The equation that describes the change in freezing point of a solvent due to a solute is T f =i x K f x molality. How much would the freezing point decrease if a 3.23 molal (m) solution were achieved? (K f =1.86^ C/(mol/kg) for water and i = 3 for CaCl 2 )

Answer:

On contact with ice, calcium chloride forms brine rapidly, which lowers the freezing point of water and melts snow and ice quickly. Calcium chloride forms brine faster than other ice melters because its hygroscopic properties actually cause it to attract moisture from its surroundings
