For each pair, choose the compound with the smaller lattice energy, and explain your choice: (b) K₂O or K₂S.
dlinn [17]

the compound with the smaller lattice energy is potassium sulphide here the size of the molecule play a important role

The quantity of energy released by the electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions is known as lattice energy (L.E). The ion's size and charge affect the lattice energy.

lattice energy is inversely proportional to   size of ion and directly proportional to charge of the ion. They are each charged equally that is plus two and minus two However, because the Sulphur is larger in size  and the oxygen is lesser in this case, The lattice energy of potassium oxide is larger  the lattice energy of potassium sulphide  is smaller.

How many grams do 6.534e+24 molecules of phosphoric acid weigh?
fredd [130]

Answer:

1,063 grams H₃PO₄

Explanation:

To find the mass of phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), you should (1) convert molecules to moles (via Avogadro's number) and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass from periodic table).

Molar Mass (H₃PO₄): 3(1.008 g/mol) + 30.974 g/mol + 4(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mas (H₃PO₄): 97.99 g/mol

6.534 x 10²⁴ molecules H₃PO₄                       1 mole                         97.99 g
---------------------------------------------  x  -------------------------------------  x  --------------
                                                            6.022 x 10²³ molecules          1 mole

= 1,063 grams H₃PO₄

Vlada [557]

According to molecular orbital theory,  regions of  wave function with highest probability of finding electrons are areas with constructive interference.

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that can exist either free or bound to an atom (not bound). A bound electron is one of the three primary types of particles that make up an atom, along with protons and neutrons. Protons, neutrons, and electrons combined make up the atom's nucleus. A proton's positive charge balances an electron's negative charge. When an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is said to be in a neutral state. Electrons are distinct from other particles in a number of ways. They have a much lower mass, are found outside the nucleus, and exhibit both wave- and particle-like characteristics. The electron is a basic particle.

1) Zn(CH₃COO)₂(s) + 2KOH(aq) = Zn(OH)₂(s) + 2CH₃COOK(aq)

Ksp{Zn(OH)₂}=1.2*10⁻¹⁷

2) Zn(CH₃COO)₂(s) + 2NaCN(aq) = Zn(CN)₂(s) + 2CH₃COONa(aq)

Ksp{Zn(CN)₂}=2.6*10⁻¹³


Ksp{Zn(OH)₂}<Ksp{Zn(CN)₂}

Zn(OH)₂ precipitates first
