In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions)

, which affects lattice energy (a measure of the attractive force holding those ions together). Based on ion sizes, rank these compounds of their expected lattice energy..
Note: Many sources define lattice energies as negative values. Please rank by magnitude and ignore the sign. |Lattice energy| = absolute value of the lattice energy.

Answer:

RbF>RbCl>RbBr>RbI

Explanation:

Lattice energy depends largely on the internuclear distance between two oppositely charged ions in a crystal lattice. The smaller the both ions, the greater the lattice energy of the crystal.

In the case of the compounds listed above, the cation in all the compounds is the same but the anions have varrying sizes in the order I->Br->Cl->F-. Since the smaller the ion, the greater the lattice energy, the order of decreasing lattice energies stated in the answer is thus well rationalized.

Since the number of atoms in a substance is so large , a unit to count them was created. This unit is the number of atoms in 12
larisa86 [58]

The number of atoms in one mole of any substance is measured by Avogadro's number. The value of Avogadro's number is 6.023 x 10 ^23. It is named after scientist Avogadro who proposed this number. 12 grams of carbon-12 represents 1 mole of carbon-12. For this reason, the number of atoms present in 1 mole of any substance is 6.023 x 10 ^23. Therefore, the number of atoms present in 1 mole carbon-12 is 6.023 x 10^23.


(Answer) This unit is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 and known as Avogadro's number.

The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the partial pressures of
baherus [9]

Answer:

"The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each gas"

Explanation:

Dalton's law of partial pressures state that, in a mixture of gases, the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressure exerted by each gas of the mixture. The equation is:

Total pressure = Partial pressure Gas 1 + Partial pressure Gas 2 + .... + Partial pressure Gas n

To complete the sentence we can say:

"The total pressure in a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of each gas"

Two alcohols, isopropyl alcohol and propyl alcohol, have the same molecular formula, C3H8O. A solution of the two that is two-th
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

1.

Since both components of these solutions have the same molar mass, mole fractions would be the same as mass fractions.

0.110 atm = (2/3)(Pi) + (1/3)(Pn) [1]

0.089 atm = (1/3)(Pi) + (2/3)(Pn) [2]

2*[1] - [2]:

(2)(0.110) - 0.089 atm = Pi

Pi = 0.131 atm

2*[2] - [1]:

(2)(0.089) - 0.110 atm = Pn

Pn = 0.068 atm

2.

The hydroxyl (-OH) group on the end of a longer 1-propanol molecule makes it more polar than IPA. It follows that the intermolecular forces between 1-propanol are stronger than those of IPA and thus the vapor pressure of 1-propanol should be lower than IPA.

Why do atoms share electrons in covalent bonds??
ra1l [238]
Atoms in covalent bonds do combine so as to be stable. As covalent bond consist non metals e.g O2 in this example each atom has vacance of 2 orbitals/ electrons so shairing electrons result their stability
