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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

Question 231.15 pts A 0.200 M solution of a weak monoprotic acid HA is found to have a pH of 3.00 at room temperature. What is t
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Ka= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶

Explanation:

The ionization of a weak monoprotic acid HA is given by the following equilibrium: HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻. At the beginning (t= 0) we have 0.200 M of HA. Then, a certain amount (x) is dissociated into H⁺ and A⁻, as is detailed in the following table:

               HA               ⇄        H⁺        +          A⁻

t= 0      0.200 M                     0                     0

t              -x                             x                       x

t= eq      0.200M -x               x                       x

At equilibrium, we have the following ionization constant expression (Ka):

Ka= \frac{ [H^{+}]  [A^{-} ]}{ [HA]}

Ka= \frac{x x}{0.200 M -x}

Ka= \frac{x^{2} }{0.200 M - x}

From the definition of pH, we know that:

pH= - log  [H⁺]

In this case, [H⁺]= x, so:

pH= -log x

3.0= -log x

⇒x = 10⁻³

We introduce the value of x (10⁻³) in the previous expression and then we can calculate the ionization constant Ka as follows:

Ka= \frac{(10^{-3})^{2}  }{0.200 - (10^{-3}) }= \frac{10^{-6} }{0.199}= 5.025 x 10⁻⁶= 5.0 x 10⁻⁶

If a liquid substance is transferred to a different container, what can be predicted about the volume of the liquid in the new c
taurus [48]

The same

Explanation:

If a liquid substance is transferred to a different container, the volume of the liquid in the new container will remain the same.

The volumes of liquids are fixed and does not change. Wherever they are contained, just like solids, they maintain their constant space.

  • Volume is the amount of space occupied by a body.
  • Gases do not have fixed volume as they fill their containers and they take up the shape.
  • Solids and liquids have a fixed volume.
  • They do not change their volume.

Ammonia will decompose into nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperature. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a flas
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Kp = 0.022

Explanation:

<em>Full question: ...With 2.3 atm of ammonia gas at 32. °C. He then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the partial pressure of hydrogen gas to be 0.69 atm. </em>

<em />

The equilibrium of ammonia occurs as follows:

2NH₃(g) ⇄ N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)

Where Kp is defined as:

Kp = \frac{P_{N_2}P_{H_2}^3}{P_{NH_3}^2}

<em>Where P represents partial pressure of each gas.</em>

<em />

As initial pressure of ammonia is 2.3atm, its equilibrium concentration will be:

P(NH₃) = 2.3atm - 2X

<em>Where X represents reaction coordinate</em>

<em />

Thus, pressure of hydrogen and nitrogen is:

P(N₂) = X

P(H₂) = 3X.

As partial pressure of hydrogen is 0.69atm:

3X = 0.69

X = 0.23atm:

P(NH₃) = 2.3atm - 2(0.23atm) = 1.84atm

P(N₂) = 0.23atm

P(H₂) = 0.69atm

Kp = \frac{0.23atm*0.69atm^3}{1.84atm^2}

<h3>Kp = 0.022</h3>
