Answer:
- <u><em>You should expect that the ionic bond in LiBr is stronger than the bond in KBr.</em></u>
<u><em /></u>
Explanation:
The<em> ionic bonds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction between the ions, cations and anions.
In KBr the cation is K⁺ and the anion is Br⁻.
In LiBr the cation is Li⁺ and the anion is Br⁻.
You must expect that the bond strength depends mainly on the charges present on each ion and the distance between them.
Nevertheless, the effect of the distance between the radius dominate the trendency of the bond strength, which makes that the ionic strength trend be related to the ionic radius trend.
Lithium is a smaller ion than Potassium (both are in the same group and Lithium is above Potassium).
Thus, you should expect that the Li ion is closer to the Br ion than what the K ion is to the Br ion and expect that the bond between a Li ion and the Br ion be stronger than the bond between the K ion and the Br ion.
Your first step is determining how many gram of KCl are in every mole of KCl. This can be done by simply looking at K and Cl's atomic mass on the Periodic Table. You add K's atomic mass (39.1g) with Cl's atomic mass (35.45g) to determine that the mass of one mole of KCl is 74.55g. Because you have 10 moles of KCl you multiply 74.55g by 10 to reach your answer of 745.5g.
Answer:
Yes, there are forces of attraction between the surfaces.
It is adhesive force.
Explanation:
Adhesive force is the bonding between two or more molecules of different materials, causing them to stick together.
That way you have a back up plan. And your prepared
