Answer:

Explanation:

Lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid compound into its components gaseous cations and anions.

Due to increase in size of the ions, the lattice energy decreases while the lattice energy increases as the charge of the ions increases.

When the size increase, the distance between the nuclei also increase leading a decrease the force of attraction between the nuclei

How does the wavelength of a wave change when frequency decreases? when frequency increases?

Law Incorporation [45]

When the frequency decreases the wavelength is further apart. When it increases its closer together. Think about a flat line when the frequency is low the wavelengths are wider. When its a high frequency the squiggly lines on the moniter are taller and thinner so the wavelengths are not as wide and not that far from each other depending on how high the frequency is.

Calculate the change in length of a Pyrex glass dish (Coefficient of linear expansion for Pyrex is 3 * 10-6 / oC) that is 0.25 m

DIA [1.3K]

9* $10^{-5}$ m

Explanation:

Step 1:

We are given the initial length of the Pyrex glass dish at a particular temperature and need to calculate the change in the length when the temperature changes by 120° C. The coefficient of linear expansion of Pyrex is provided.

Step 2:

Change in length = Coefficient of linear expansion * Change in temperature * Initial length

Step 3:

Coefficient of linear expansion = 3* $10^{-6}$ /°C
