The boat is flattened and there is more air against the surface pushing it up but a block has all weight in one place and will just sink<span />

In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions)
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Li2S> Na2S> K2S> CsS

Explanation:

The lattice energy of ionic species depends on the relative sizes of ions in the ionic compounds. As the size of ions increases, the lattice energy decreases and vice versa.

When the size of the anions are the same, the lattice energy now depends on the relative sizes of the cations. Therefore, since all the compounds are sulphides and the order of magnitude of ionic sizes is: Li^+ < Na^+ < K^+ < Cs^+.

Therefore, the order of decrease in lattice energy is; Li2S> Na2S> K2S> CsS

I need help with my homework.Calculate the number of formula units in: 41.5 grams CaBr2
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

\text{ }1.25\times10^{23}\text{ formula units}

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of formula units in the given molecule

We start by getting the number of moles

To get the number of moles, we have to divide the mass given by the molar mass

The molar mass is the mass per mole

The molar mass of calcium bromide is 200 g/mol

Thus, we have the number of moles as follows:

\frac{41.5}{200}\text{ = 0.2075 mol}

The number of formula units in a mole is:

1\text{ mole = 6.02 }\times10^{22}\text{ formula units}

The number of formula units in 0.2075 mole will be:

0.2075\text{ }\times6.02\times10^{23}\text{ = }1.25\times10^{23}\text{ formula units}
