Arrange the compounds in order of decreasing magnitude of lattice energy:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct answer is CaO > LiBr > KI.

Explanation:

Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charge and is inversely proportional to the size. The compound LiBr comprises Li+ and Br- ions, KI comprises K+ and I- ions, and CaO comprise Ca²⁺ and O²⁻ ions.  

With the increase in the charge, there will be an increase in lattice energy. In the given case, the lattice energy of CaO will be the highest due to the presence of +2 and -2 ions. K⁺ ions are larger than Li⁺ ion, and I⁻ ions are larger than Br⁻ ion.  

The distance between Li⁺ and Br⁻ ions in LiBr is less in comparison to the distance between K⁺ and I⁻ ions in KI. As a consequence, the lattice energy of LiBr is greater than KI. Therefore, CaO exhibits the largest lattice energy, while KI the smallest.

How water deposits soil sediment and rock
n200080 [17]
<span>A river can only carry a load if it has adequate energy. When the energy drops below a certain level, therefore, the load is dropped. In the Thalweg (the line of fastest flow), more load is carried, and this is also where the erosion occurs, adding more load. On the inside of a meander, for example, since the Thalweg is on the outside, the velocity on the inside is very low, and so deposition occurs. On the very inside, water merely trickles past. This is incapable of transporting load, so it deposits it until it is able to carry all of it.</span>

Define Saturated Solution. What happens as a saturates solution cools?
solong [7]

Saturated solution is a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent. When saturated solution cools, the solution began precipitate from the solution, because under lower temperature, usually, less amount solute can be dissolved in the solvent.
