explain why the crystal structure of barium fluoride, BaF2, differs from that of magnesium fluoride, MgF2

Chemistry

Leto [7]3 years ago
8 0

The crystal structure of barium fluoride BaF₂ and magnesium fluoride MgF₂ is cubic and tetragonal lattice respectively.

There are difference between the cubic and tetragonal lattice of any crystal. For cubic lattice a = b = c and α = β = γ = 90⁰ and for tetragonal lattice a = b ≠ c and α = β = γ = 90⁰ (where a, b and c are the edge length of the lattice and α, β, γ angle of the crystal lattice).

The difference of the structure depends on the size of the ions present in the compound. In BaF₂, the ions are Ba²⁺ and F⁻. In MgF₂, the ions are Mg²⁺ and F⁻.

Although the size of the anion in both the crystal is same, there is a huge difference between the size of the cation, which affect the crystal lattice of the compound.

If an object has a density of 0.00018 g/cm cubed, what density would it be if it had a mass of 10kg
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Explanation:

first to get the density of some thing you have to devide the mass by the volume so 0.00018 (divided) by 10 kg and that gives you ur answer

A slice of Swiss cheese contains 47 mg of sodium. (a) What is this mass in grams? .047 (b) What is this mass in ounces? (16 oz =
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.047 g (b) 0.0016 oz (c) 0.0001 lb

Explanation:

The given mass of the sodium in the slice = 47 mg

(a) Mass has to be calculated in grams

The conversion of mg to g is shown below as:

1 mg = 10⁻³ g

So,

<u>Mass of sodium = 47 × 10⁻³ g = 0.047 g</u>

(b) Mass has to be calculated in ounces

The conversion of ounces to g is shown below as:

453.6 g = 16 oz

Or,

1 g = 16 / 453.6 oz

So,

<u>Mass of sodium = (0.047 × 16) / 453.6 oz = 0.0016 oz</u>

(c) Mass has to be calculated in pounds

The conversion of pounds to g is shown below as:

1 lb = 453.6 g

Or,

1 g = 1/ 453.6 lb

So,

<u>Mass of sodium = (0.047 × 1) / 453.6 oz = 0.0001 lb</u>

As a result of the gold foil experiment, it was concluded that an atom(1) contains protons, neutrons, and electrons(2) contains
grin007 [14]
The answer is (2). If you recall Rutherford's gold foil experiment, remember that a stream of positively charged alpha particles were shot at a gold foil in the center of a detector ring. The important observation was that although most of the particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected, a tiny fraction of the alpha particles were deflected off the axis of the shot, and some were even deflected almost back to the point from which they were shot. The fact that some of the alpha particles were deflected indicated a positive charge (because same charges repel), and the fact that only a small fraction of the particles were deflected indicated that the positive charge was concentrated in a small area, probably residing at the center of the atom.

11.0 L of hydrogen and 5.52 L of oxygen are exploded together in a reaction tube. What volume of water vapor was formed, at STP?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

11.0 L

Explanation:

The equation for this reaction is given as;

2H2  +  O2  -->  2H2O

2 mol of H2 reacts with 1 mol of O2 to form 2 mol of H2O

At STP;

1 mol = 22.4 L

This means;

44.8 L of H2 reacts with 22.4 L of O2 to form 44.8 L of H2O

In this reaction, the limiting reactant is H2 as O2 is in excess.

The relationship between H2 and H2O;

44.8 L = 44.8 L

11.0 L would produce x

Solving for x;

x = 11 * 44.8 / 44.8

x = 11.0 L
