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

Which best describes a compound such as sodium chloride?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

check it below

Explanation:

NaCl; Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound formed by sodium and Chlorine.

Ionic bond is very strong, It can't be separated back to sodium and chlorine just by physical change. Chemicals which are more reactive can displace ions, thus seperate it

How many kj of heat are needed to completely vaporize 1.30 moles of h2o? the heat of vaporization for water at the boiling point
Cerrena [4.2K]
The Kj of heat that  are needed to completely vaporize 1.30  moles of H2O  if  the heat of vaporization  for water is 40.6 Kj/mole  is calculated as  below

Q(heat) = moles x heat  of vaporization)

=1.30 mol  x40.6 kj/mol= 52.78 Kj  is needed
