The crystal structure of an ionic compound depends on the

Chemistry
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The ion's sizes and their radius ratio.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds take the form of three dimentional arrays by alternating anions and cations in order to minimize the potential energy of the system by maximizing the attractive force between opposite charges.

<em>The resultant geometric structures are known as crystal lattices and their arrangements depend on the ion's sizes and, since they are bound though electrostatic attraction, their radius ratio.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

A general term for a chemical which accelerates a reaction without becoming chemically involved is called a ______.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Catalyst

Explanation:

A general term for a chemical which accelerates a reaction without becoming chemically involved is called a catalyst.

Catalysts are used in industrial processes to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction. For instance, in the Contact process used in the production of sulphuric (vi) acid, vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is used as a catalyst to speed up the production of the acid. Vanadium(V) oxide (V2O5) is preferred to Platinum which was initially used as the catalyst since it does not react with any of the products of the process

Methane burns in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

= 9.28 g CO₂

Explanation:

First write a balanced equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂ -> 2H₂O + CO₂

Convert the information to moles

7.50g CH₄ = 0.46875 mol CH₄

13.5g O₂ = 0.421875 mol O₂

Theoretical molar ratio CH₄:O₂ -> 1:2

Actual ratio is  0.46875 : 0.421875 ≈ 1:1

If all CH₄ is used up, there would need to be more O₂

So O₂ is the limiting reactant and we use this in our equation

Use molar ratio to find moles of CO₂

0.421875 mol O₂ * 1 mol CO₂/2 mol O₂=0.2109375 mol CO₂

Then convert to grams

0.2109375 mol CO₂ = 9.28114 g CO₂

round to 3 sig figs

= 9.28 g CO₂
