Metallic gold crystallizes in a face-centered cubic lattice, with one au atom per lattice point. if the edge length of the unit
1 answer:
The metallic radius (r) of au is 144.2pm
A face-centered cubic unit cell structure is made up of atoms arranged in a cube with six additional whole atoms placed in the centre of each cube face and a fraction of an atom at each of the cube's four corners. Eight additional unit cells share the atoms at the cube's corner.
Atoms in an FCC crystal are in contact along the unit cell's diagonal. 4r = √2 a, where r is the radius of an atom and a is the edge length of a unit cell.
Putting the values in the above expression,we get
r = √2×408 / 4
r =
r =
r = 144.2 pm
Therefore, The metallic radius (r) of au is 144.2pm

The tank has a volume of , where

is its radius.
At any point, the water filling the tank and the tank itself form a pair of similar triangles (see the attached picture) from which we obtain the following relationship:
The volume of water in the tank at any given time is
and can be expressed as a function of the water level alone:
Implicity differentiating both sides with respect to time gives
We're told the water level rises at a rate of at the time when the water level is
, so the net change in the volume of water
can be computed:
The net rate of change in volume is the difference between the rate at which water is pumped into the tank and the rate at which it is leaking out:
We're told the water is leaking out at a rate of , so we find the rate at which it's being pumped in to be
