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

Chemistry

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.

Answer:

1384 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heat released due to the combustion of the organic compound. C is the total heat capacity of the calorimeter and Δt is the change in temperature from intial to final:

Q = CΔt = (3576 J°C⁻¹)(30.589°C - 25.000°C) = 19986.264 J

Extra significant figures are kept to avoid round-off errors.

We then calculate the moles of the organic compound:

(0.6654 g)(mol/46.07) = 0.0144432 mol

We then calculate the heat released per mole and convert to the proper units. (The conversion between kJ and J is infinitely precise and is not involved in the consideration of significant figures)

(19986.264 J)(1kJ/1000J) / (0.0144432 mol) = 1384 kJ/mol

How do atoms form a new substance?
dezoksy [38]
            <span> Atoms combine as the electrons from each atom are attracted to the nuclei of the atoms. This results in bonds ranging from 100% covalent to bonds with high ionic character. The combination of atoms to form compounds occurs when the compounds being formed are at lower energy than the original atoms.</span>
