It’s the first answer - ie the equation needs to be balanced.

You can’t just look at the individual elements. To balance the equation, Magnesium will be part of the balancing and hence you will be adding Magnesium to both sides of the equation etc

Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?

Tema [17]

They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

The howler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 8.9 km. Assume the

Airida [17]

Answer:

$\frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Explanation:

P = Acoustic power = 63 µW

r = Distance to the sound source = 210 m

Acoustic power

$P=IA\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{P}{A}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}$

Threshold intensity = $I_0=1\times 10^{-12}\ W/m^2$

Ratio

$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{\frac{63\times 10^{-6}}{4\times \pi \times 210^2}}{1\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I}{I_0}=113.68$

Ratio of the acoustic intensity produced by the juvenile howler to the reference intensity is 113.68

The overall energy involved in the formation of CsCl from Cs(s) and Cl2(g) is −443 kJ/mol. Given the following information: heat

Answer : The magnitude of the lattice energy for CsCl is, 667 KJ/mole

Explanation :

The steps involved in the born-Haber cycle for the formation of $CsCl$ :

(1) Conversion of solid calcium into gaseous cesium atoms.

$Cs(s)\overset{\Delta H_s}\rightarrow Cs(g)$

$\Delta H_s$ = sublimation energy of calcium

(2) Conversion of gaseous cesium atoms into gaseous cesium ions.

$Ca(g)\overset{\Delta H_I}\rightarrow Ca^{+1}(g)$

$\Delta H_I$ = ionization energy of calcium

(3) Conversion of molecular gaseous chlorine into gaseous chlorine atoms.

$Cl_2(g)\overset{\frac{1}{2}\Delta H_D}\rightarrow Cl(g)$

$\Delta H_D$ = dissociation energy of chlorine

(4) Conversion of gaseous chlorine atoms into gaseous chlorine ions.

$Cl(g)\overset{\Delta H_E}\rightarrow Cl^-(g)$

$\Delta H_E$ = electron affinity energy of chlorine

(5) Conversion of gaseous cations and gaseous anion into solid cesium chloride.

$Cs^{1+}(g)+Cl^-(g)\overset{\Delta H_L}\rightarrow CsCl(s)$

$\Delta H_L$ = lattice energy of calcium chloride

To calculate the overall energy from the born-Haber cycle, the equation used will be:

$\Delta H_f^o=\Delta H_s+\Delta H_I+\Delta H_D+\Delta H_E+\Delta H_L$

Now put all the given values in this equation, we get:

$-443KJ/mole=76KJ/mole+376KJ/mole+121KJ/mole+(-349KJ/mole)+\Delta H_L$

$\Delta H_L=-667KJ/mole$

The negative sign indicates that for exothermic reaction, the lattice energy will be negative.

Therefore, the magnitude of the lattice energy for CsCl is, 667 KJ/mole
