Answer:

The answer is: B. A strong repulsive force is created when the cations suddenly line up.

Explanation:

Solid ionic compounds are fragile. This behavior is explained as a result of the repulsions that appear when one layer of ions moves with respect to the other so that ions of the same charge are stopped.

The answer is: B. A strong repulsive force is created when the cations suddenly line up.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: The equilibrium constant for this reaction is $1.068\times 10^{6}$

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate standard Gibbs free change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta G^o_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$Ni(s)+4CO(g)\rightleftharpoons Ni(CO)_4(g)$

The equation for the standard Gibbs free change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta G^o_{(Ni(CO)_4(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta G^o_{(Ni(s))})+(4\times \Delta G^o_{(CO(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta G^o_{(Ni(CO)_4(g))}=-587.4kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_{(Ni(s))}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta G^o_{(CO(g))}=-137.3kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta G^o_{rxn}=[(1\times (-587.4))]-[(1\times (0))+(4\times (-137.3))]\\\\\Delta G^o_{rxn}=-38.2kJ/mol$

To calculate the equilibrium constant (at 58°C) for given value of Gibbs free energy, we use the relation:

$\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K_{eq}$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = Standard Gibbs free energy = -38.2 kJ/mol = -38200 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J )

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/K mol

T = temperature = $58^oC=[273+58]K=331K$

$K_{eq}$ = equilibrium constant at 58°C = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$-38200J/mol=-(8.314J/Kmol)\times 331K\times \ln K_{eq}\\\\K_{eq}=e^{13.881}=1.068\times 10^{6}$

Hence, the equilibrium constant for this reaction is $1.068\times 10^{6}$

Why do lungfish walk on land?

kicyunya [14]

Lungfish are thought to be related to the first creatures that crawled out of the water to colonize land. The new findings support the theory that walking first arose underwater, preceding the move onto land and the development of toes and limbs adapted to land perambulation. ..

What occurs in dissociation

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:- B. Solvent molecules surround solute ions.

Explanations:- When an ionic solute that has positive and negative ions is dissolved in a solvent like water then the solute ions are surrounded by the water molecules in a way so that the highly electron negative oxygen atom of water is towards the positively charged ion of the solute and less electron negative which is hydrogen atom that has partial positive charge, surrounds the negatively charged ion of the solute.

Due to these forces made by the solvent molecules, the solute is broken into the ions and get dissolved in solvent.
