Explanation:

Once solid ammonium nitrate interacts with water, the molecules of polar water intermingle with these ions and attract individual ions from the structure of the lattice, that actually will break down. E.g;-NH4NO3(s) — NH4+(aq)+ NO3-(aq) To split the ionic bonds that bind the lattice intact takes energy that is drained from the surroundings to cool the solution.

Some heat energy is produced once the ammonium and nitrate ions react with the water molecules (exothermic reaction), however this heat is far below that is needed by the H2O molecules to split the powerful ionic bonds in the solid ammonium nitrate.

Hence, we can say that the dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water is highly endothermic reaction.

Lelu [443]

Your Question: There are two kinds of elements that didn't appear on the periodic table until after 1892. What kinds are they and why do you think it took so long to discover them?

The Answer: Moseley’s analysis enabled chemists to refine the table further  and reveal more gaps, which suggested that there were more new  elements waiting to be discovered, with atomic numbers 43, 61, 72  and 75. Scientists subsequently found these elements—now  known as technetium, promethium, hafnium and rhenium,  respectively.

Explanation: Physicist Henry Moseley discovered the atomic number of each element using x-rays, which led to more accurate organization of the periodic table. We will cover his life and discovery of the relationship between atomic number and x-ray frequency, known as Moseley's Law.

Remember to read study guides, lessons and notes to rely yourself on; key to success is working hard. Good Luck!

Mila [183]

Answer: The order of increasing lattice energy is Li_2S>K_2S>Rb_2S

Explanation: Lattice energy is defined as the energy required to break the intermolecular force that is responsible for the formation of a lattice.

Melting point is defined as the temperature at which solid gets converted into liquid due to the weakening of the bonds in the solid form.

  • Relation between lattice energy and Melting point:

The relationship between these two is direct.

\text{Lattice energy}\propto \text{Melting point}

More the melting point of a compound, more will be its lattice energy.

Order of increasing Lattice energy will be:

Li_2S>K_2S>Rb_2S
