Multiple choice chemistry lattice energy defining lattice energy ionic or electrovalent bond energy cycles

Boiling point of a substance is based on the intermolecular and intramolecular forces which in turn determine the lattice energy of a substance.
Which of the following substance would have the highest boiling point?

  1. $NaCl$
  2. $Hg$
  3. $AlF _{3}$
  4. $H _{2}O$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$NaCl$ will have the highest boiling point as it is the strongest ionic compound present in the given options. $NaCl$ have strong interionic forces as $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ attracts each other very strongly which results in an increase in the compactness of the molecule, further its lattice enthalpy.

Multiple choice chemistry lattice energy defining lattice energy ionic or electrovalent bond energy cycles

We have all heard the phrase "opposites attract but like repels." This is especially true for ionic compounds.
Which one of the following has the largest lattice energy as a result of this attraction?

  1. $LiCl$
  2. $NaCl$
  3. $K _{2}O$
  4. $MgCl _{2}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$LiCl$. $Li^+$ due to its small size and has high polarizing power and attracts the electron cloud of $Cl^-$ towards itself which results in high lattice energy of the molecule.

Considering only  lattice enthalpy, arrange them in the increasing order of their stability:
$NaCl$ , $MgCl _{2}$ , $MgO$

  1. $NaCl$ , $MgO$, $MgCl _{2}$
  2. $NaCl$ , $MgCl _{2}$ , $MgO$
  3. $MgCl$, $MgO$, $MgCl _{2}$

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Lattice enthalpy is a measure of the strength of the forces between the ions in an ionic solid. The greater the lattice enthalpy, the stronger the forces. 

Lattice enthalpy of $ NaCl $ = $787kJ/mol$
Lattice enthalpy of $ MgO $ = $3826kJ/mol$
Lattice enthalpy of $Mg{ Cl } _{ 2 }$= $+2534kJ/mol$

Multiple choice chemistry lattice energy defining lattice energy ionic or electrovalent bond energy cycles

The correct order of the lattice energies of the following ionic compound is :

  1. $NaCl > MgBr _2 > CaO > Al _2O3$
  2. $NaCl > CaO > MgBr _2 > Al _2O _3
    $
  3. $Al _2O _3 > MgBr _2 > CaO > NaCl$
  4. $Al _2O _3 > CaO > MgBr _2 > NaCl$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Charge matter in lattice energy so here $Al^{+3}, Ca^{+2}, Mg^{+2}, Na^+$ and $O^{-2}$ & $Br^{-1}$
So $cao>MgBr _2 \Rightarrow$ overall order $Al _2O _3>Cao>MgBr _2>NaCl.$

Multiple choice chemistry lattice energy defining lattice energy ionic or electrovalent bond energy cycles

$MgO$ has a high melting point because due to the highly charged ions, ionic force is strong and lattice energy is........

  1. High

  2. Low

  3. Both are

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

lattice energy is high

In magnesium oxide, both magnesium and oxygen atoms form ions in the lattice. Due to the higher magnitude of the charge on the magnesium and oxygen atoms, the force of attraction between them is very high. This provides them with very high lattice energy and a lot of energy is required to break this lattice. Hence the melting point of $MgO$ is high. Therefore both the statements are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1

Multiple choice chemistry natural fibres wool - animal fibre wool fibres from animals

What is scouring ?

  1. Removal of dust, impurity and grease from hair of sheep

  2. Removal of water from hair of sheep

  3. Removal of other hairs from hair of sheep

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$A$ 

This is the second step in obtaining fiber. The woolen fibers are thoroughly washed in big tanks to remove grease, dust and dirt by fully mechanized machines before the wool can be used for commercial purposes.. Wool straight off a sheep, known as "greasy wool” or "wool in the grease", contains a high level of valuable lanolin, as well as the sheep's dead skin and sweat residue, and generally also contains pesticides and vegetable matter from the animal's environment.

Which of the following are fleece and wool-bearing animals?

  1. Sheep and goat

  2. Camel and Yak

  3. Both A and B

  4. none of them
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Sheep, goat, Camel, Yak, etc. bear hair of two different types coarse hair and fine soft hair. Fine soft hair is found close to the skin in these animals. The fine soft under hair is called fleece. Fibre for wool is obtained from the fleece (hair) of such animals and hence such animals are called wool-bearing animals.
