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.

If molar mass of M(OH)3 = 78 8. mass of M​
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

From molar mass=total RAM of each individual element

78.8=(16+1)×3+M

78.8-51=M

27.8g/mol=M

a block of wood has a density of 0.95 g/cm3. will it float or sink when placed on a liquid with a density of 0.88 g/mL? explain
vesna_86 [32]
Since 1mL=1cm^3 the wood would sink due to it being more dense. I.e. 0.95>0.88
