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 $\boxed{\textbf{-862 kJ/mol}}$ .

Given below is the balanced equation for the combustion of decane. 2C10H22 (l) + 31O2 (g) --> 20CO2 (g) + 22H2O (g) What is t

Aleks [24]

Answer: The ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 :31

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced combustion reaction is,:

$2C_{10}H_{22}(l)+31O_2(g)\rightarrow 20CO_2(g)+22H_2O(g)$

Thus the ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 : 31

In the reaction below, how many grams of h2o(g) are produced when 2.1 grams o2(g) are consumed? c4h6(g) + o2(g) → co2(g) + h2o(g

amm1812

The balanced equation that illustrates the reaction is:
2C4H6 + 11O2 ......> 8CO2 + 6H2O

number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles of oxygen = 2.1 / 32 = 0.065625 moles

Now, from the balanced equation, we can note that:
11 moles of oxygen are required to produce 6 moles of water.
Therefore:
0.065625 moles of oxygen will produce:
(0.065625*6) / 11 = 0.03579 moles of water

number of moles = mass / molar mass
mass = number of moles * molar mass
mass of water = 0.03579 * 18 = 0.644 grams
