How does the ground temperature in sunlight with CO2 compare with ground temperature in sunlight without CO2?
4. The common oxidation number for an alkaline earth metal is +2.
(a) Using the Born-Mayer equation (for determining the lattice enthalpy) and a Born-Haber
cycle (draw it), show that CaCl is an exothermic compound (negative AHf). Make a
reasonable prediction to estimate the ionic radius of Ca (explain your reasoning). The
sublimation (atomization) enthalpy for Ca(s) is 178 kJ/mol.
(b) Show that an explanation for the non-existence of CaCl can be found in the enthalpy
change for the reaction below. The AHf for CaCl2(s) is -190.2 kcal/mol.
2 CaCl(s) → Ca(s) + CaCl2(s)
Archimedes tells us the lifting power of a balloon (how much mass it can lift) is equal to the
difference between the mass of the balloon and the mass of the air it displaces. That is, if the
balloon occupies the same volume as 10 kg of air, but the balloon only weighs 2 kg, then the
balloon can lift 8 kg.
Airships have sometimes been filled with hydrogen (H₂), but hydrogen is very flammable, and
after the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed in 1937 with serious loss of life airships have nearly
always been filled with helium (He) instead.

Suppose a new airship Star of Balogna will have the shape of a cylinder 100. m long, with a radius of 15.0 m, and will weigh 9250. kg without any gas inside it.
Suppose also the average passenger weighs 82 kg.
Calculate how many passengers the Balogna could carry if it were filled with hydrogen, and also if it were filled with helium.
