The lattice energy of a salt is related to the energy required to separate the ions. For which of the following pairs of ions is

the energy that is required to separate the ions largest? (Assume that the distance between the ions in each pair is equal to the sum of the ionic radii.)

Answer: The Lattice energy is the energy required to separate an ionic solid into its component gaseous ions <em>or</em>

It is the energy released when gaseous ions combine to form an ionic solid.

Explanation:

The lattice energy depends on the ionization energies and electron affinities of atoms involved in the formation of the compound. The ionization energies and electron affinities also depends on the ionic radius and charges of the ions involved. As the ionic radius for cations <em>increases</em> down the groups, ionization energy <em>decreases</em>, whereas, as ionic radii <em>decreases</em> across the periods , ionization energy <em>increases</em>. The trend observed for anions is that as ionic radii <em>increase </em>down the groups, electron affinity <em>decreases. </em>Across the period, as ionic radii <em>increases</em> electron affinity <em>increases</em>. Also, as the charge on the ion <em>increases,</em> it leads to an <em>increase</em> in energy requirement/content.

Therefore, for compounds formed from cations  and anions in the same period, the highest charged cation and anion will have the highest lattice energy. For example, among the following compounds: Al2O3 (aluminium oxide), AlCl3 (aluminium chloride), MgO, MgCl2 (magnesium chloride), NaCl, Na2O (sodium oxide); Al2O3(aluminium oxide) will have the highest lattice energy, thus will be hardest to break apart because its ions have the highest charge.

Which type of combination is a mixture?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

C.  physical

Explanation:

A mixture is a physical combination. Mixtures are combinations of compounds and molecules without any chemical reaction taking place.

Mixtures have the following properties:

  • They have an indefinite composition i.e they consist of two or more elements and or compounds in any proportion by mass
  • Their constituents retains their identities i. e physical property is retained.
  • Their constituents reacts differently to changed conditions.
  • They are easily separated into constituents by physical methods

How many grams are in 5.2 moles of Li2SO4
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

572 g

Explanation:

Molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of an element or compound

molar mass of Li₂SO₄ is the sum of the products of the molar masses of the elements by the number of atoms in the compound

molar masses of each element making up lithium sulphate

Li - 7 g/mol

S - 32 g/mol

O - 16 g/mol

molar mass of Li₂SO₄ - (7 g/mol x 2) + ( 32 g/mol x 1) + ( 16 g/mol x 4 )

molar mass = 110 g/mol

mass of 1 mol of Li₂SO₄ is 110 g

therefore mass of 5.2 mol of Li₂SO₄ is - 110 g/mol x 5.2 mol = 572 g

mass is 572 g

How does a scientist explain something when a controlled experiment cannot be carried out
Romashka [77]
<span> We look for evidence. There are numerous natural phenomenon that we can't observe happening in real-time because they happen over large time scales, or large spatial scales. But we can observe the effects of these phenomenon and make predictions about what other effects we should see. </span>
