Answer:
XY would have a higher melting point than NaCl.
Explanation:
The electrostatic force (F) between ions in an ionic lattice can be estimated using Coulomb's Law.
where,
k is the Coulomb's constant
q₁ and q₂ are the charges of the ions
r is the distance between the ions
X⁺⁺ and Y⁻⁻ are doubly charged with respect to Na⁺ and Cl⁻ so the force between them is 4 times the force between Na⁺ and Cl⁻. Since the force is stronger, it would require more energy to break it to take it to the liquid state, so a higher melting point is expected.
Answer : The balanced reduction half-reaction is:
Explanation :
Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.
Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.
Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.
The given balanced redox reaction is :
The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:
Oxidation reaction :
Reduction reaction :
In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 2 and reduction reaction by 3 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.
Oxidation reaction :
Reduction reaction :
The balanced redox reaction will be:
Thus, the balanced reduction half-reaction is:
