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.

Nickel is extracted from nickel oxide by reduction with carbon.
meriva

Answer:

Nickel is extracted from nickel oxide by reduction with carbon. Nickel is a metal which react with atmospheric oxygen which is very reactive in order to protect the inner surface of metal. Carbon extract oxygen which is attached to the nickel in the form of nickel oxide because carbon is more reactive so it made a chemical bonds with oxygen and nickel oxide is converted into a pure nickel.

What is true about elements that are in the same column group or family
shusha [124]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Which is true of Elements on a periodic table in the same group (family)?

A; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electron shells.

B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

C; Elements in the same family have few similar properties as they have different numbers of electron shells.

D; Elements in the same family are always the same type of Elements and have the same number of protons.

Answer: B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons. The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

Example: Flourine, chlorine and bromine are elements which belong to Group 17. They have 9, 17 and 35 electrons respectively and contain 7 valence electrons each and need one electron to complete their octet.

What is the pH for a solution that has an OH ion
Basile [38]
Assuming that you mean 10^-4 M then this would be basic and would have a pH of 10.

pOH = -log[OH].
So pOH = 4
pH=14-pOH
pH = 10
