Based on the diagram shown in the attached file

R = Radius of the sphere  

a = Lattice constant

Using pythagoras theorem for the right angled triangle in figure 2

(4R)^2 = a^2 + a^2

16(R^2) = 2(a)^2

Solving the above equation

a=2R√2

To prove that the Atomic Packing factor is 0.74

Let the volume of atom in a unit cell be Vs

Total unit cell volume, Vc  

Vc = a^3

Vc =(2R√2)^3

Vc=16R^3 √2  =22.63R^3

Since there are 4 atoms in the FCC unit cell

Vs=4*(4/3 πR^3)

Vs=5.33 πR^3

APF=(5.33 πR^3)/(22.63R^3 )

APF=0.74

The equilibrium constant, K, for the following reaction is 5.10X10 at 548 K. NH_CH(s) 2 NH3(E) + HC1(2) Calculate the equilibriu
Serga [27]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of HCl is 0.01707 M.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant of the reaction = K_c=5.10\times 10^{-6}

Moles of ammonium chloride = 0.573 mol

Concentration of ammonium chloride = \frac{0.573 mol}{1.00 L}=0.573 M

     NH_4HCl(s)\rightleftharpoons 2 NH_3(g) + HCl(g)

Initial:            0.573     0           0

At eq'm:      (0.573-x)   x           x

We are given:

[NH_4Cl]_{eq}=(0.573-x)

[HCl]_{eq}=x

[NH_3]_{eq}=x

Calculating for 'x'. we get:

The expression of K_{c} for above reaction follows:

K_c=\frac{[HCl][NH_3]}{[NH_4Cl]}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.10\times 10^{-6}=\frac{x\times x}{(0.573-x)}

2.9223\times 10^{-6}-5.10x\times 10^{-6}=x^2

x^2-2.9223\times 10^{-6}+(5.10\times 10^{-6})x=0

On solving this quadratic equation we get:

x = 0.01707 M

The equilibrium concentration of HCl is 0.01707 M.

How many Fe atoms are within a single FeCl2 molecule
Rama09 [41]

The number of Fe atoms within a single FeCl2 molecule are one.

Explanation:

Metallic iron produces only ferrous chloride (FeCl2) on treatment with hydrochloric acid. Hydrogen gas is also liberated as the other product. But when iron is heated with chlorine gas, ferric chloride (FeCl3) is formed.

Total number of atoms within a single FeCl2 molecule are 3 atoms.

The number of Fe atoms in FeCl2 molecule are one.

Number of Cl atoms in FeCl2 molecule are two.

If a mixture of gasses contain 4.5 atmospheric O2 and 785mm Hg of N2 what is the total pressure of the mixture in atm
Triss [41]

Answer:

The total pressure of the mixture is 5, 53 atm.

Explanation:

The sum of the partial pressures of the gases that make up a gaseous mixture is equal to the total pressure of said mixture, according to Dalton's law. We convert the unit of pressure in mmHg into atm:

760 mmHg----1 atm

785 mmHg----x= (785 mmHgx 1 atm)/760 mmHg=1, 03 atm

P total= P 02 + P N2

P total= 4, 5 atm + 1,03 atm=5, 53 atm
