Enthelpy change & lattice energy - check please

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on writing reactions that represent the lattice energy for silver fluoride and iron(III) chloride, including their physical states. The proposed reaction for silver fluoride is AgF (aq) yields Ag^+(g) + F^-(g), but there is confusion regarding the notation "(ag)". For iron(III) chloride, participants suggest breaking it down into individual ions: Fe(3+) and three Cl^-(g) ions. The importance of including correct charges and physical states in these reactions is emphasized. Accurate representation of lattice energy is crucial for understanding ionic compounds.

Write the reaction where the enthalpy change is the lattice energy for silver floride. Make sure you include the physical states.

Ag F (ag) yields Ag Positive(g) + F negative(g)

Could you please check this
Thanks
Could you help with this one: write the equation for the reaction where the enthalpy change represents the lattice energy of iron (III) chloride (FeCl3) Do not forget to include the physical states. Could you get me started?
Thanks

This is almost correct, but what is "(ag)" ?

This is just like the other problem. First break up the molecule into individual atoms (FeCl3 breaks up into an Fe atom and 3 Cl atoms). Next you put the correct charges on these atoms to convert them to the appropriate ions. So Fe should be Fe(3+), and each Cl would be... ?
 
Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
