Answer:

Order of decreasing: CaS> LiCl> CsCl. That is CsCl has the lowest lattice energy.

Explanation:

LATTICE ENERGYcan be used to estimate the STRENGHT of the bonds in an ionic compound.

ATOMIC RADIUS is a function of lattice energy. The atomic radius INCREASES as you move DOWN a group. LATTICE ENERGY DECREASES as ATOMIC RADIUS increases.

Considering the cations Lithium +1, and Caesium +1 , as one move DOWN the GROUP the ions get larger, this causes the LATTICE ENERGY TO DECREASE DOWN THE GROUP. This means that between lithium in and caesium ion, the Caesium ion has LOWER LATTICE ENERGY as COMPARE TO LITHIUM ION.

AS ONE MOVE ACROSS THE PERIOD, POSITIVE IONS BECOMES MORE CHARGED, and the MORE THE CHARGE, THE GREATER THE LATTICE ENERGY.

Therefore, Calcium ion will have higher lattice energy than Lithium ion.

Which of the following statements is (are) true about enzyme-catalyzed reactions? a. The reaction is faster than the same reacti
Brums [2.3K]

Answer : The correct option is A.

Explanation :

Enzyme-catalyzed reaction :

Enzyme act as a biological catalyst and the role of catalyst is to increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.

Most of the chemical reactions are slow in the absence of enzyme but in the presence of enzyme, the reaction become faster. That means the Enzyme accelerate the rate of reaction.

Therefore, the correct answer is the reaction is faster than the same reaction in the absence of the enzyme.

What is the difference between unconfined aquifers and confined aquifers?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Unconfined aquifers are those into which water seeps from the ground surface directly above the aquifer. Confined aquifers are those in which an impermeable dirt/rock layer exists that prevents water from seeping into the aquifer from the ground surface located directly above.

A solution of zinc nitrate is added to a solution of magnesium sulfate. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all
alexandr402 [8]

Answer is: no reaction occurs, because all salts are soluble in water.

Balanced chemical reaction:  

Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + MgSO₄(aq)→ Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + ZnSO₄(aq).

Ionic reaction:  

Zn²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺ + SO₄²⁻(aq).

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations and anions of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.
