Answer:

order = SrS > SrCl2 > RbCl > CsBr

Explanation:

Comparison of the melting points of compounds is basically dependent on the charge on their cation and anion, the more the charges on the cation and anion, the stronger and greater the force of attraction and as such the melting point will be relatively higher as well.

The ionic radii is also another factor to be considered, the more the distance between ions, the lesser the bond strength and the lesser the melting point.

from the options, in terms of ionic radii SrS > SrCl2 and RbCl > CsBr

also both SrS and SrCl2 have more charges on their ions compared to RbCl and CsBr and as such the arrangement of the highest melting point will be in the order SrS > SrCl2 > RbCl > CsBr.

What is the reduction half equation of Fe(s)+ 2 HC2H3O2(aq) → Fe(C2H3O2)2(aq) + H2(g)
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

2 H⁺ + 2e = H₂    ( reduction )

Explanation:

Fe( s ) + 2 CH₃COOH = Fe ( OOCCH₃ ) ₂ + H₂

Fe( s ) = Fe⁺² + 2e     ( oxidation )

2 H⁺ + 2e = H₂    ( reduction )

The vapor pressure of a substance is measured over a range of temperatures. A plot of the natural log of the vapor pressure vers
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

28.7664 kJ /mol

Explanation:

The expression for Clausius-Clapeyron Equation is shown below as:

\ln P = \dfrac{-\Delta{H_{vap}}}{RT} + c

Where,

P is the vapor pressure

ΔHvap  is the Enthalpy of Vaporization

R is the gas constant (8.314×10⁻³ kJ /mol K)

c is the constant.

The graph of ln P and 1/T gives a slope of - ΔHvap/ R and intercept of c.

Given :

Slope = -3.46×10³ K

So,

- ΔHvap/ R = -3.46×10³ K

<u>ΔHvap = 3.46×10³ K × 8.314×10⁻³ kJ /mol K = 28.7664 kJ /mol</u>

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST A car traveling at a constant speed goes around a sharp curve. Is the car accelerating? Explain.
8_murik_8 [283]
No the car is not accelerating because it is going at a constant speed.This is a trick question because human nature urges us to imagine the activity taking place.  Our perception will be acceleration due to the inertial forces being applied in the original direction of travel as the car turns.In reality the car is moving at a constant speed, and the physical forces related to direction change are applied and absorbed at the same time.
