A certain liquid X has a normal freezing point of -5.00 °C and a freezing point depression constant K = 2.11 °C-kg-mol. A solution is prepared by dissolving some zinc chloride (ZnCl₂) in 800. g of X. This solution freezes at -6.7 °C. Calculate the mass of ZnCl, that was dissolved. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used to melt ice on roads during the winter. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is sometimes used for this purpose too. Let us compare the effectiveness of equal masses of these two compounds in lowering the freezing point of water, by calculating the freezing point depression of solutions containing 200. g of each salt in 1.00 kg of water. (An advantage of CaCl2 is that it acts more quickly because it is hygroscopic, that is. it absorbs moisture from the air to give a solution and begin the process. A disadvantage is that this compound is more costly.)
