Geologists have a rule of thumb: when molten rock cools and solidifies, crystals of compounds with the smallest lattice energies appear at the bottom of the mass because of high power of solubility.

<h3>What is lattice energy? </h3>

The lattice energy is defined as the energy change upon the formation of one mole of crystalline ionic compound from its same constituent ions, that are assumed to be initially in the state of gases. It is also defined as measure of the cohesive forces which bind ionic solids together.

As the lattice energy of the ionic compound increase the solubility of that particular compound decrease. Hence compound which have low lattice energy are more soluble than compound having high lattice energy. When molten rocks cools and solidified, the compound having smallest lattice energy become more soluble than crystals of compound which have large lattice energy. Therefore, crystal of compound with the smallest lattice energy start appearing at the bottom of the mass.

Thus, we concluded that due to high solubility power of compound with low lattice energy appear at the bottom of the mass.

When 0.100 mol of carbon is burned in a closed vessel with8.00
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer : The mass of carbon monoxide form can be 2.8 grams.

Solution : Given,

Moles of C = 0.100 mole

Mass of O_2 = 8.00 g

Molar mass of O_2 = 32 g/mole

Molar mass of CO = 28 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of O_2.

\text{ Moles of }O_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }O_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }O_2}=\frac{8g}{32g/mole}=0.25moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2C+O_2\rightarrow 2CO

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of C react with 1 mole of O_2

So, 0.1 moles of C react with \frac{0.1}{2}=0.05 moles of O_2

From this we conclude that, O_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and C is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of CO

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of C react to give 2 mole of CO

So, 0.1 moles of C react to give 0.1 moles of CO

Now we have to calculate the mass of CO

\text{ Mass of }CO=\text{ Moles of }CO\times \text{ Molar mass of }CO

\text{ Mass of }CO=(0.1moles)\times (28g/mole)=2.8g

Therefore, the mass of carbon monoxide form can be 2.8 grams.

6 Which substances have atoms of the same element but different molecular structures?
Bezzdna [24]
Well you want the answer with the same letter in it. A.k.a 2. This means they have the same element in them
O2 (Diatomic oxygen that we breathe) and O3 (Ozone that would be deadly to breathe) have different structures.
So the answer is 2

Which of the following represents the mass of 1 molecule of SH2?
mr_godi [17]
Answer:
            5.645 × 10⁻²³ g

Solution:

Step 1) Calculate Molar Mass of SH₂;

Atomic Mass of Sulfur    =  32 g/mol

Atomic Mass of H₂         =  2 g/mol
                                      --------------------
Molecular Mass of SH₂  =  34 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate mass of one molecule of SH₂ as;

As,

                     Moles  =  # of Molecules / 6.022 × 10²³

Also, Moles  =  Mass / M.Mass So,

                     Mass/M.mass  =  # of Molecules / 6.022 × 10²³

Solving for Mass,

                     Mass  = # of Molecules × M.mass / 6.022 × 10²³

Putting values,

                     Mass  =  (1 Molecule × 34 g.mol⁻¹) ÷ 6.022 × 10²³

                     Mass  =  5.645 × 10⁻²³ g

A motor cyclist starts from rest and reaches a speed of 6m/s after travelling with uniform acceleration for 3s. What is his acce
choli [55]

Answer:

2m/s²

Explanation:

When an object starts or at its state of rest it has an Initial speed U = 0

Final speed = 6m/s

total time taken for the acceleration = 3s

Acceleration =?

Acceleration is the change in velocity (speed) with time

OR

Time rate of change of velocity

Acceleration = <u>Change in Speed(velocity)</u>

Time taken

Hence,

Acceleration = <u> </u><u> </u><u>V - </u><u>U</u><u> </u><u> </u>

t

a = <u>6</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>0</u>

3

a = <u>6</u><u> </u><u> </u>

3

a = 2m/s²
