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

Chemistry

Leto [7]2 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.

What is the solubility of MgCO₃ in a solution that contains 0.080 M Mg²⁺ ions? (Ksp of MgCO₃ is 3.5 × 10⁻⁸)
Alchen [17]

Answer: 4.4 x 10^-7

Explanation:

The dissociation equation for this reaction is:

MgCO3 (s) → Mg+2 (aq) + CO3-2 (aq)

\text { So, } k_{s p}=(x+0.08) x (Here 0.08 >>> x )

\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 3.5 \times 10^{-8} &=0.08 \times x \\\Rightarrow x &=\frac{3.5}{0.08} \times 10^{-8} \\&=4.37 \times 10^{-7} \\\Rightarrow x & \approx 4.4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~M}\end{aligned}

So the solubility MgCO₃ in a solution that containing 0.080 M Mg²⁺ is 4.4 x 10^-7
