Rank the following salts in order of increasing lattice energy: lithium chloride, calcium oxide, aluminum oxide, sodium chloride, barium oxide. Please explain! Thank you.

 barium oxide < calcium oxide<  sodium chloride <   lithium chloride < aluminum oxide

Explanation:

The lattice energy can be defined as the change in internal energy accompanying the formation of a single mole of an ionic solid from its gaseous constituents at 0 K.

The lattice energy depends on the relative sizes of cations and anions in the compound. The smaller the cations and anions, the greater the lattice energy.

If we look as the proposed order of increasing lattice energy of the compounds;  barium oxide < calcium oxide<  sodium chloride <   lithium chloride < aluminum oxide, we will notice that it follows the order of decrease in the sizes of both the ions, Ba^2+ > Ca^2+ > Na+ >Li+ > Al^3+.

The smaller the ions involved, the greater the lattice energy as one can see from the order listed above.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation

this is not my own answer, this is an answer for the same question by the user blahblahmali. i do not claim ownership of this account.

answer: cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create atp, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. it has four stages known as glycolysis, link reaction, the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
