Answer:

Decreasing order of melting point:

SrS > SrCl_2 > RbCl > CsBr

Explanation:

Born–Landé equation explained the relation between lattice energy, charges and sizes of ions present in a compound.

U=-k\frac{Q_1Q_2}{r_0}

Here, U is internal energy, Q_1\ and\ Q_2 are charges and r_0 is the size.

More the lattice energy more will be the energy to break ionic lattice in order to melt.

Therefore, more the lattice energy, more will be melting point.

Moreover, lattice energy is proportional to charge and inversely proportional to size.

Consider the compounds given

In SrCl_2,\ charges\ are\ Sr^{2+},\ Cl^-

In CsBr, charges are Cs^+,\ Br^-

In RbCl charges are Rb^+,\ Cl^-

In Srs, charges on ions are Sr^{2+},\ S^{2-}

Order of the sizes are as follows:

Cs > Rb

Br > Cl

Cs > Sr

Therefore, decreasing order of melting point:

SrS > SrCl_2 > RbCl > CsBr

How many ants would 6 giant anteaters need to eat in one year to get the matter and energy they need? Write a simple formula to
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

180,000 ants

Explanation:

For this problem we can create the following simple formula to solve this problem...

f(x) = 6x

where the variable x represents the number of ants that a single Anteater needs to eat per day. After a quick online search we can see that a single Anteater eats roughly 30,000 ants per day. If we use this value and plug it into the simple formula we can get the total number of ants 6 anteaters need to eat to survive.

f(x) = 6 * 30,000

f(x) = 180,000

Consider the structures of benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol. Benzene ring with a CH2OH attached Benzene ring with an aldehyde gro
damaskus [11]

Answer:

no equivalent peak, upfield between 0 and 3 ppm

Explanation:

NMR stands for nuclear magnetic resonance. It is a spectroscopic technique that is used for observing the local magnetic fields around an atomic nuclei. It is used to study the chemical, physical and biological properties of the matter.

In the context, the structures of the benzaldehyde and the benzyl alcohol are distinguished by the proton NMR. The hydrogen atom of aldehyde appears downfield between 9 and 11 ppm and also there is no equivalent peak for the alcohol.

The methylene hydrogens will only be significant upfield between the 0 and 3 ppm peak between the given structures.
