1. Calculate the attractive bonding force for NaF and for MgO when the ions just touch. Based on the attractive bonding force, w
1 answer:
Answer:
The attractive force is negative and MgO has a higher melting point
Explanation:
From Couloumb's law:
Energy of interaction, E = k
where q1 and q2 are the charges of the ions, k is Coulomb's constant and r is the distance between both ions, i.e the atomic radii of the ions.
If you look at Coulomb's law, you note that in the force is negative (because q1 is negative while q2 is positive).
In addition to that, the compounds MgO and NaF have similar combined ionic radii, then we can determine the melting point trend from the amount of energy gotten
The melting point of ionic compounds is determined by 1. charge on the ions 2. size of ions. while NaF has smaller charges (+1 and -1), MgO (+2 and -2) has larger charges and greater combined atomic radii. This implies that the compound with greater force would have a higher melting point.
Hence the compound MgO would have a higher melting point than NaF.

Answer:
Volume of = 15.31 mL
Volume of = 4.69 mL
Explanation:
Given that:
the density of the mixture = 1.82 g/mL
From the density of the pure samples
The density of = 1.492 g/mL
The density of = 2.890 g/mL
The total volume of the liquid mixture = 20.0 mL
Suppose the volume of = P ml
and the volume of = Q ml
the sum of their volumes should be equal to the total volume of the mixture
----- (1)
However, we know that Density = mass/volume
∴ mass = density × volume
The equation can now be expressed as:
1.492 g/mL × P mL + 2.890 g/mL × Q mL = 1.82 g/mL × 20 mL ---- (2)
From equation (1) ;
let Q = 20 - P
The replace the value of P into equation (2)
1.492 g/mL × P mL + 2.890g/mL × (20 - P) mL = 1.82 g/mL × 20 mL
1.492 P g + 57.8g - 2.890 P g = 36.4g
1.492 P g - 2.890 P g = 36.4g - 57.8g
-1.398 P g = -21.4g
P = -21.4g/-1.398g
P = 15.31 mL
Q = 20 - P
Q = (20 - 15.31) mL
Q = 4.69 mL
∴
Volume of = 15.31 mL
Volume of = 4.69 mL
Answer:
Explanation: A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.
The compounds which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.
Thus the exchange of ions take place and all the compounds are soluble so the chemical formulas are followed by the symbol (aq).
