Lattice energy increases with greater charge and smaller size.

Since the charges are the same for both compounds, you have to look at the sizes of the atoms, K and Na, and since both have Cl, you don't have to compare that with anything. K is larger than Na, so since NaCl has a smaller size and the same charge, it has higher lattice energy.

Why kBr is used for IR?

KBr is used mostly in IR Spectroscopy techniques because it do not absorbs moisture at room temperature as compared to NaCl. More over it do not give its own peak.

Rank following from highest to lowest lattice energy licl na2o mgo na2s beo?

MgO > BeO > LiCl > Na2O > Na2S. Lattice energy is directly proportional to the charges of the ions and inversely proportional to the size of the ions. MgO has the highest lattice energy due to the strong attraction between the highly charged ions, while Na2S has the lowest due to lower charges and larger ions.

How can prepare .01N KBr solution?

To prepare a 0.01N KBr solution, dissolve 0.74g of KBr in 1 liter of water. This will give you a solution with a molarity of 0.01N for KBr.


Use of kbr in ir spectroscopy?

Potassium bromide (KBr) is commonly used in infrared (IR) spectroscopy as a method to prepare solid samples for analysis. The sample is mixed with KBr and compressed into a pellet, which allows for better handling and analysis. KBr has a wide transmission range in the IR spectrum and is transparent to infrared radiation, making it a suitable medium for the sample to be measured.

What are the chemical or physical differences between KCl plus NaBr solution and KBr plus NaCl solution of same molar density?

When you flame test the two solutions, any Na solution burns yellow, while any K solution burns violet/purple. So both the KCl and the KBr will burn purple, while both NaBr and NaCl will burn yellow.
