Answer:

MgO> NaCl > KBr >RbI

Explanation:

Lattice energy refers to a measure of the energy contained in the crystal lattice of a compound. It is equal to the energy that would be released if the component ions were brought together from infinity. It is also defined as a measure of the energy released when ions are combined to make a compound or a measure of the cohesive forces that bind ions together in an ionic solid.

Melting points of ionic substances depend on their relative lattice energies. Similarly, the lattice energy depends on the size of the ions in the ionic solid. The smaller the sizes of the component ions, the greater the lattice energy. It can be seen that the sizes of cations and anions decrease steadily from RbI to MgO hence the lattice energy and melting point of the ionic solids increases in the order shown in the answer. The smaller the component ions in the lattice the greater the melting point of that ionic solid.

Where are fusion reactions found
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

In a nuclear fusion reaction, the nuclei of two atoms combine to create a new atom. Most commonly, in the core of a star, two hydrogen atoms fuse to become a helium atom. Although nuclear fusion reactions require a lot of energy to get started, once they are going they produce enormous amounts of energy.

3.25 x 10+8 nm2 divide by 6.5 x 10+6 nm =
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:  50 nm

Explanation:  Two steps:

1.  Divide 3.25/6.5 = 0.5

2.  Divide 10^8/10^6 = 10^2

nm^2/nm = nm

Combine:  0.5x10^2 nm

or 50 nm

A lead mass is heated and placed in a foam cup calorimeter containing 50.0 ml of water at 18.0°c. the water reaches a temperatur
garri49 [273]
Heat gained or loss in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1) 

When two objects are in contact, it should be that the heat lost is equal to what is gained by the other. So, the heat released by the lead is equal to the heat that is absorbed by the water. 

</span>Heat = mC(T2-T1) = 50.0 mL (1.00 g/mL) (4.18 J/g °C) (20 °C - 18 °C) = 418 J<span>

I need chemistry help! How would I set up these problems?
Bond [772]

Answer: -

1) 8.33 minutes

2) 118.39 in/ s

180.43 m/min

10.83 km/ hr

Explanation: -

Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Distance of the earth from the sun= 93 million miles

We know 1 million = 1,000,000

Also 1 mile = 1609 m

Distance of the earth from the sun= 93 million miles

= 93,000,000 miles.

= 1.5 x 10^{11} m

Time taken = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

= \frac{1.5 x [tex] 10^{11} m}{3 x 10⁸ m/s} [/tex]

= 500 s

= 500/ 60

= 8.33 minutes

2) Distance = 1 mile = 63360 inches

Time taken = 8.92 min

= 8.92 x 60

= 535.2 s

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

= \frac{63360 inches}{535.2 s}

= 118.39 in/ s

Distance = 1 mile = 63360 inches = 63360 x 2.54 cm = 63360 x 2.54 x 10^{-2} m

Time taken = 8.92 min

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

= \frac{63360 x 2.54 x [tex] 10^{-2} m}{8.92 min} [/tex]

= 180.43 m/ min

1 m = 10⁻³ Km

1 min = 1/60 hour

1 m /min = 10⁻³ km/ \frac{1}{60 hour}

= 60/1000

=0.06 km/hr

180.43 m / min = 180 x 0.06 km / hr

= 10.93 km / hr
