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.

An atom has radius of 227 pm and crystallizes in a body-centered cubic unit cell. What is the volume of the unit cell

sdas [7]

We will see that the volume of the unit cell is 144,070,699.06 pm^3

<h3>How to get the volume of a body-centered cubic unit cell?</h3>

In a body-centered cubic unit cell, the side length of the cube is given as:

$S = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3} } *R$

Where R is the radius of the atom.

And the volume of a cube is the side length cubed, then we can see that the volume of our cube will be:

$V = S^3 = (\frac{4}{\sqrt{3} }*227pm)^3$

Solving that we get:

$V = (\frac{4}{\sqrt{3} }*227pm)^3 = 144,070,699.06pm^3$

This is the approximated volume of the unit cell.

Hydrogen cyanide, HCN, is prepared from ammonia, air, and natural gas (CH₄), by the following process:

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

6.75 g of HCN can be produced by the reaction

Explanation:

Complete reaction is:

2NH₃ (g) + 3O₂ (g) + 2CH₄ (g) → 2HCN (g) + 6H₂O (g)

Let's determine the moles of each reactant:

11.5 g . 1mol / 17g = 0.676 moles of ammonia

12 g . 1 mol / 32g = 0.375 moles of oxygen

10.5 g . 1mol/ 16 g = 0.656 moles of methane

Now is all about rules of three:

2 moles of ammonia reacts with 3 moles of O₂ and 2 moles of methane

0.676 moles of NH₃ may react with:

(0.676 . 3) /2 = 1.014 moles of O₂

(0.676 . 2) / 2 = 0.676 moles of methane

Both can be the limiting reactant.

3 moles of O₂ react with 2 moles of NH₃ and 2 moles of methane

0.375 moles of O₂ will react with:

(0.375 .2) / 3 = 0.375 moles

The same amount for methane, 0.375 moles

2 moles of CH₄ reacts with 3 moles of O₂ and 2 moles of NH₃

0.656 moles of methane would react with 0.656 moles of NH₃

(0.656 . 3 ) /2 = 0.437 moles of O₂ I do not have enough O₂

Oxygen is the limiting reactant → We can work with the reaction now.

Ratio is 3:2. 3 moles of oxygen produce 2 moles of cyanide

0.375 moles of O₂ may produce (0.375 .2 ) / 3 = 0.250 moles

If we convert the moles to mass → 0.250 mol . 27 g / 1mol = 6.75 g
