3 0

Answer:

(B) the energy required to break apart one mole of an ionic compound into its gaseous ions

Explanation:

Lattice energy is the energy that would be obtained from the formation of an ionic compound from its gaseous ions. Therefore, the reverse process that responds the question would be the energy required to break apart an ionic compound and convert its component atoms into gaseous ions.

Lattice energy provides a measure of the stability of an ionic compound. When the ions bind to form the crystalline structure, heat (energy) is released. To break the ionic compound into the ions that form it, it is necessary to provide an energy equal to that released when formed, i.e. the lattice energy.

Good morning, I have a question..

matrenka [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 5.24 mL</h3>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

$volume = \frac{mass}{density} \\$

From the question

mass = 152 g

density = 29 g/cm³

We have

$volume = \frac{152}{29} \\ = 5.24137931...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Which alkane is the isomer of butane called 2-methylpropane? A skeletal model of a 4-carbon chain has a straight line extending

solmaris [256]

Answer:

A three-carbon chain has a straight line extending from the center carbon.

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Butane and 2-methylpropane are constitutional isomers. Constitutional isomers differ in the way that the constituent atoms are connected to each other.

Butane is a straight chain compound while the compound 2-methylpropane consists of a three-carbon chain which has a straight line extending from the center carbon.

Nitrogen dioxide and water react to form nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide, like this:

posledela

Answer: The value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is 3.72

Explanation:

Equilibrium concentration of $HNO_3$ = $\frac{15.5g}{63g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.026M$

Equilibrium concentration of $NO$ = $\frac{16.6g}{30g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.058M$

Equilibrium concentration of $NO_2$ = $\frac{22.5g}{46g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.051M$

Equilibrium concentration of $H_2O$ = $\frac{189.0g}{18g/mol\times 9.5L}=1.10M$

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_c$
