ZnS has two common polymorphs: Sphalerite and Wurtzite. Based on the analysis of Medelung constants alone, predict which polymor

ph should be more stable. Assume that the Zn-S distances in the two polymorphs are identical.

Answer:

Wurzite has a higher Madelung constant when compared with Sphalerite therefore Wurizite is more stable.

Explanation:

Zinc Sulphide is a chemical compound that exhibits polymorphism. This means Zinc Sulphide can exists in different forms as a compound. Zinc Sulphide has two common polymorphs named; Wurtzite and Sphalerite .

This two polymorphs are crystalline in structure. Wurtzite is hexagonal in shape while Sphalerite is cubic in shape.

Madelung constant was named after German Physicist Erwin Madelung. Madelung constant is dependent on the the way ions are arranged in a solid substance or molecule. It is used to calculate the amount of energy required to move an ion from one point to the another in a crystal substance.

Madelung constant for Wurtzite is 1.64132 and for Sphalerite is 1.63806. Due to the fact that Wurtzite has a slightly higher Madelung constant that Sphalerite, it tends to be more stable than Sphalerite.

If you had a mixture of ethanol, glycerol, ethylene glycol, methanol, and water, how could you separate these five substances ou
leonid [27]

Fractional distillation

Explanation:

The best way to separate the mixtures out is through the process of fractional distillation.

In fractional distillation, liquid - liquid mixtures are separated based on the differences in boiling point of their components. Let us examine the boiling points of the component of the mixtures:  

     Ethanol                  78⁰C

     Glycerol                290⁰C

     Ethylene glycol     197.6⁰C

     Methanol               64.7⁰C

     Water                     100⁰C

We see that the liquids in the mixture have different boiling points. In this process, the mixture is heated in a distillation column. When the boiling point of any component is reached, it will rise up in the column and can be channeled to a condenser where it is cooled and collected.

The liquid with the least boiling point is first separated with the one with the highest boiling is recovered last:

   Order of recovery;

               Methanol               64.7⁰C

               Ethanol                  78⁰C

                Water                    100⁰C

               Ethylene glycol     197.6⁰C

                Glycerol                290⁰C

A sealed 1.0 l flask is charged with 0.500 mol of i2 and 0.500 mol of br2. an equilibrium reaction ensues: i2 (g) br2 (g) 2ibr (
user100 [1]

The value of Keq = 110

Let's know how to get it :


According to the equilibrium reaction equation :


I2(g) + Br2(g) → 2IBr(g)


now we need to get the value of Keq


when the Keq expression is:


Keq = [IBr]^2/ [I] [Br]


when we have [IBr] at equilibrium = 0.84 so we need to get [I] &[Br] at equilibrium .


when [Br2] = [I2] = 0.5 - 0.84 / 2


= 0.08 M


so, by substitution


∴ Keq = (0.84)^2/(0.08)^2


= 110

For the reaction 2Fe+o2 -->Feo how many grams of iron(ll) oxide are produced from 479.6 grams of iron in an excess of oxygen
nikitadnepr [17]

Mass of iron(ll) oxide= 616.608 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2Fe+O2 -->2FeO

479.6 grams of iron

Required

mass of iron(ll) oxide

Solution

mol of iron :

= mass : Ar Fe

= 479.6 g : 56 g/mol

= 8.564

From the equation, mol FeO :

= 2/2 x mol Fe

= 2/2 x 8.564

= 8.564 moles

Mass of iron(ll) oxide :

= mol x MW

= 8.564 x 72 g/mol

= 616.608 g
