    Calculating lattice enthelpy of FeF2

    Calculate the lattice enthalpy of FeF2 using the following data: Hlatt (FeCl2) = 2569 kJ/mol r(Cl-) = 181 pm r(F-) = 133 pm I started with Hlatt is proportional to [absolute value of the product of charge on cation and anion] divided by the distance between their nuclei. Since the charge...

    Understanding Redox Reactions: Balancing Multiple Reductions and Oxidations

    I am supposed to balance the following reaction: CdS + HNO3 (dil) → Cd(NO3)2 + NO + S + H2O After writing out all the oxidation numbers for each atom, I found that Cd and N are both reduced (Cd5+ → Cd 1+ and N5+ → N2+). I am wondering how to approach this problem. Is it possible to have 2...
