Answer to Question #191209 in Inorganic Chemistry for Kaygee

Question

Calcium oxide is commonly known as line,crystallizes in a typical sodium chloride structure.

1.Draw a unit cell of MC as calcium oxide structure.

2.Confirm the stoichiometry of the formula of calcium oxide if consistent with the rock Salt.

3.What is the coordination number of the anion and cation in the structures??.

4.Construct a born-haber cycle for the formation of calcium oxide.Do not perform any calculation. Label all the required thermodynamic processes with a diagram and provide definitions for all the terms used and indicate which are exothermic/endothermic.

Answer 1

Calcium oxide (CaO), it is also as quicklime or burnt lime.

It has quicklime which is  specifically applies to the single chemical compound calcium oxide. Calcium oxide that survives processing without reacting in building products .

lattice Energy, it  is a type of potential energy that may be defined in two ways.

the definition ,the lattice energy is the energy required to break apart an ionic solid and convert its component atoms into gaseous ions.

it also causes the value for the lattice energy to always be positive, since this will always be an endothermic reaction.
