Answer:

A. CsBr(s)

Explanation:

we will get here compound with the lowest lattice energy

solution

As we know that Lattice energy is always proportional to the charge of ions and it is inversely proportional to the size of ions.

so that by the smallest charge and the largest size give us the lowest lattice energy and that charge and size is express as here as

Charge

Cs (+1), K(+1), Na (+1), Cl(-1), Br(-1), Sr(+2), Ca(+2), O(-2) .......................1

and

Size

Na+ < Ca2+ < K+ < Sr2+ < Cs+, O2- < Cl- < Br- ..........................2

so that here

correct answer is A. CsBr

Which compound is an electrolyte?<br> (1) C6H12O6 (3) CaCl2<br> (2) CH3OH (4) CCl4

slavikrds [6]

I think the correct answer is option 3. CaCl2 is the compound that is an electrolyte when dissolved in water. An electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity in solution. Calcium Chloride when in solution dissociates into ions which allows the flow of current in the solution.

How many molecules of Ca are found in a sample with 0.2 mols?

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

$\boxed{1.2 \times 10^{23}\text{ atoms}}$

Explanation:

6.023 × 10²³ atoms of Ca are in 1 mol of Ca

$\text{No. of atoms} = \text{0.2 mol} \times \dfrac{6.023 \times 10^{23}\text{atoms }}{\text{1 mol }} = \mathbf{1.2 \times 10^{23}} \textbf{ atoms}}\\\\\text{There are }\boxed{\mathbf{1.2 \times 10^{23}} \textbf{ atoms}} \text{ atoms in 0.20 mol of Ca}$
