Answer:

The atomic packing factor is 0.76

Explanation:

The area is

A = 6r²√3 = 6(a/2)²√3 = 1.5a²√3

For HCP, a is equal to:

a = 2r

Replacing

A = 1.5 * (4.961x10⁻⁸)²√3 = 6.39x10⁻¹⁵ cm²

The cell volume is

V = A*c = 6.39x10⁻¹⁵ * 1.36x10⁻⁷ = 8.7x10⁻²² cm³

For n yields

n = (e * N * V)/(∑Ac + ∑An) = (5.22 * 6.022x10²³ * 8.7x10⁻²²)/(2 * 52 + (3 * 16) = 18 formula unit/unit cell

There are 18 unit of Cr₂O₃ or 36 ions of Cr₂O₃ The total volume is

V = 36 * (4π/3) * (rCr³) + 54 * (4π/3) * (rO³) = 36 * (4π/3) * (6.2x10⁻⁹)³ + 54 * (4π/3) * (1.4x10⁻⁸)³ = 6.57x10⁻²² cm³

The APF is equal to:

APF = 6.57x10⁻²²/8.7x10⁻²² = 0.76

To calculate the packing factor, first calculate the area and volume of unit cell.

Area is calculated as:

A=6R^{2}\sqrt{3}

Here, R is radius and is related to a as follows:

R=\frac{a}{2}

Putting the value in expression for area,

A=6(\frac{a}{2})^{2}\sqrt{3}=1.5a^{2}\sqrt{3}

The value of a is 0.4961 nm

Since, 1 nm=10^{-7}cm

Thus, 0.4961 nm=4.961\times 10^{-8} cm

Putting the value,

Area=1.5(4.961\times 10^{-8}cm)^{2}\sqrt{3}=6.39\times 10^{-15}cm^{2}

Now, volume can be calculated as follows:

V=Area\times c

The value of c is 1.360 nm or 1.360\times 10^{-7} cm

Putting the value,

V=(6.39\times 10^{-15}cm^{2})\times (1.360\times 10^{-7} cm)=8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}

now, number of atom in unit cell can be calculated by using the following formula:

n=\frac{\rho N_{A}V_{c}}{A}

Here, A is atomic mass of Cr_{2}O_{3} is 151.99 g/mol.

Putting all the values,

n=\frac{(5.22 g/cm^{3})(6.023\times 10^{23} mol^{-1})(8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3})}{(151.99 g/mol)}\approx 18

Thus, there will be 18 Cr_{2}O_{3} units in 1 unit cell.

Since, there are 2 Cr atoms and 3 oxygen atoms thus, units of chromium and oxygen will be 2×18=36 and 3×18=54 respectively.

The atomic radii of Cr^{3+} and O^{2-} is 62 pm and 140 pm respectively.

Converting them into cm:

1 pm=10^{-10}cm

Thus,

r_{Cr^{3+}}=6.2\times 10^{-9}cm

and,

r_{O^{2-}}=1.4\times 10^{-8}cm

Volume of sphere will be sum of volume of total number of cations and anions thus,

V_{S}=V_{Cr^{3+}}+V_{O^{2-}}

Since, volume of sphere is V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3},

V_{S}=36\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{Cr^{3+})^{3}} \right )+54\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{O^{2-})^{3}} \right )

Putting the values,

V_{S}=36\left ( \frac{4}{3}(3.14) (6.2\times 10^{-9} cm)^{3}} \right )+54\left ( \frac{4}{3}(3.14) (1.4\times 10^{-8} cm)^{3}} \right )=6.6\times 10^{-22}\times 10^{-8}cm^{3}

The atomic packing factor is ratio of volume of sphere and volume of crystal, thus,

packing factor=\frac{V_{S}}{V_{C}}=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}}{8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}}=0.758

Thus, atomic packing factor is 0.758.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

12,375 cm³

Explanation:

v=l×w×h

Since there are 3 books the equation would then be

v=3(l×w×h)

v=3(25×15×11)

v=3(4,125)

v=12,375 cm³

Object a has a mass of 12 G and a volume of 8 cm3 object be has a mass of 20 G and a volume of 8 cm3 which object has a greater
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Option C = object B by 1 gram per cubic cm.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of object A = 12 g

Volume of object A = 8 cm³

Mass of object B = 20 g

Volume of object B = 8 cm³

Densities = ?

Solution:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Density of object A:

d = m/v

d = 12 g/ 8 cm³

d = 1.5 g/cm³

Density of object B:

d = m/v

d = 20 g/ 8 cm³

d = 2.5 g/cm³

object b has high density.
