Order the following compounds according to their expected lattice energies: AlBr3,MgBr2, LiBr, and CaO. Rank from largest to sma
1 answer:
Explanation:
Lattice energy is defined as the energy released when formation of 1 mole of an ionic compound occurs due to the combination of its constituent ions.
Also, lattice energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the cation and anion. And, when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in the atomic radii of the atoms.
This means that smaller is the ionic distance between the cation and anion, more will be the lattice energy between the atoms.
Hence, given compounds are ranked from largest to smallest lattice energy as follows.
> CaO >
> LiBr

Answer:
The correct answer is option a.
Explanation:
Equilibrium concentration cadmium ions =
Equilibrium concentration fluoride ions =
Molar solubility is the maximum concentration of salt present in water in ionic form beyond that no more salt will exist in its ionic form and will settle down in bottom of the solution.
The molar solubility of the solid cadmium fluoride = 0.0585 M
..[1]
Due to addition of sodium fluoride will increase concentration of fluoride in the solution.And due to common ion effect the equilibrium will shift in backward direction in [1], that is precipitation of more cadmium fluoride.
Hence, decrease in solubility will be observed.
