Do you know why salt is spilled when snow blocks roads?

Heavy snowfall has brought about a blockage of vehicle traffic. Roads are blocked, and maintenance companies have found the ideal solution. But do you know why salt is used to unlock snow roads? It is worth noting that salt causes the ice to melt. This is because when salt is added to ice, it is put into contact with the thin layer of water on the surface.

When ice and water are in contact, there is an exchange between two different states of water, liquid and solid. Some of the ice molecules break off and pass into water, and the opposite happens with water molecules. After the salt is melted in water, the number of water molecules adhering to the ice increases rapidly.

This contact lowers the melting temperature (point) below normal. Consequently, the ice in contact with the salt dissolves and thus creates another layer of water starting the cycle from the beginning. The more concentrated the salt, the lower the freezing temperature of the ice.

Is smoking haram in Islam?

Many Muslims consider tobacco to be Makruh (something unpopular or hateful) according to the Shari'ah, but not Haram (forbidden). Whenever you give any advice about this look, they choose to ignore it.

As a rule, the Qur'an forbids all that is evil. Says Allaah the Exalted: "He (the Prophet Muhammad) permits them all that is good and lawful and forbids all that is evil." (Qur'an, Al-A'raf: 157) Evil and sin manifest themselves in things, beliefs, persons, foods, drinks, etc. So, if smoking proves to be among the bad things, then this alone is enough for believers to unders

Acid rain is a type of rain or any other form of precipitation that has an unusual level of acidity

Which means it has a high level of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can cause harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by the emission of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which interact with water molecules in the atmosphere and create acids. Since the 1970s, governments have made efforts to lower the level of sulfur dioxide released into the atmosphere, achieving positive results. Nitrogen oxides can be produced naturally by lightning strikes while sulfur dioxide from volcanic eruptions. Chemicals in acid rain can cause paint to be removed, corrosion of steel structures on bridges and erosion of stone statues.  Formation of acid rain Creating acid rain Due to the release of acidic gases into the atmosphere and their solubility in raindrops, it then collapses into such acidic soil. In normal rain conditions there is a small amount of acidity. This rate depends on the amount of CO2 dissolved in it, as well as small amounts of chlorine. By standar
