Question

Write the favourable factors for the formation of ionic bond.

✓

Answer

The following factors facilitate the formation of an ionic bond between a metal and a non-metal:

Ionization energy: Lesser the ionization energy, greater is the ease of formation of a cation.
Electron affinity: High electron affinity favours formation of an anion.
Lattice Energy: It is defined as the amount of energy released when cations and anions are brought close to each other from infinity to their respective equilibrium sites in the crystal lattice to form one mole of the ionic compound. The higher the magnitude of the lattice energy, the greater is the tendency of the formation of an ionic bond.

Dihydrogen gas used in Haber’s process is produced by reacting methane from natural gas with high temperature steam. The first stage of two stage reaction involves the formation of CO and $H_2$. In second stage, CO formed in first stage is reacted with more steam in water gas shift reaction,
$\text{CO (g) + H}_2\text{O (g)}\rightleftharpoons\text{CO}_2\text{ (g) + H}_2\text{ (g)}$
If a reaction vessel at 400°C is charged with an equimolar mixture of CO and steam such that $\text{p}_\text{co}=\text{p}_{\text{H}_2\text{O}}=4.0$bar, what will be the partial pressure of $H_2$ at equilibrium?$\text{K}_\text{p}=10.1\text{ at }400^\circ\text{C}$
