Answer:

Green light has longer wavelengths than orange light. Green light has fewer particles than orange light. Green light refracts less than orange light. That is why Green light slows down more quickly than orange light does.

Given the following thermodynamic data, calculate the lattice energy of LiCl:

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{-862 kJ/mol}}$

Explanation:

One way to calculate the lattice energy is to use Hess's Law.

The lattice energy U is the energy released when the gaseous ions combine to form a solid ionic crystal:

Li⁺(g) + Cl⁻(g) ⟶ LiCl(s); U = ?

We must generate this reaction rom the equations given.

(1) Li(s) + ½Cl₂ (g) ⟶ LiCl(s); ΔHf° = -409 kJ·mol⁻¹

(2) Li(s) ⟶ Li(g); ΔHsub = 161 kJ·mol⁻¹

(3) Cl₂(g) ⟶ 2Cl(g) BE = 243 kJ·mol⁻¹

(4) Li(g) ⟶Li⁺(g) +e⁻ IE₁ = 520 kJ·mol⁻¹

(5) Cl(g) + e⁻ ⟶ Cl⁻(g) EA₁ = -349 kJ·mol⁻¹

Now, we put these equations together to get the lattice energy.

E/kJ

(5) Li⁺(g) +e⁻ ⟶ Li(g) 520

(6) Li(g) ⟶ Li(s) -161

(7) Li(s) + ½Cl₂(g) ⟶ LiCl(s) -409

(8) Cl(g) ⟶ ½Cl₂(g) -121.5

(9) Cl⁻(g) ⟶ Cl(g) + e⁻ +349

Li⁺(g) + Cl⁻(g) ⟶ LiCl(s) -862

The lattice energy of LiCl is $\boxed{\textbf{-862 kJ/mol}}$ .

Which of the following organisms would NOT be in the first trophic level of an energy pyramid?

dog!

this is because the first energy comes from plants bc they can make their own food— therefore, energy :)

Consider the reaction pathway graph below.

Alex17521 [72]

Hello!

The reaction that the graph represents is A. Exothermic because Hrxn=-167 kJ

To calculate Hrxn we apply the following equation:

$Hrxn=Hproducts-Hreagents=-625kJ-(-458kJ)=-167kJ$

Looking at the graph, and at the result of the calculations, we can see that the enthalpy of the products is lower than the enthalpy of the reagents, because the sign is negative. That means that the reaction releases energy in the form of heat and that the reaction is exothermic.

Have a nice day!
