<span>361.4 pm is the length of the edge of the unit cell. First, let's calculate the average volume each atom is taking. Start with calculating how many moles of copper we have in a cubic centimeter by looking up the atomic weight. Atomic weight copper = 63.546 Now divide the mass by the atomic weight, getting 8.94 g / 63.546 g/mol = 0.140685488 mol And multiply by Avogadro's number to get the number of atoms: 0.140685488 * 6.022140857x10^23 = 8.472278233x10^22 Now examine the face-centered cubic unit cell to see how many atoms worth of space it consumes. There is 1 atom at each of the 8 corners and each of those atoms is shared between 8 unit cells for for a space consumption of 8/8 = 1 atom. And there are 6 faces, each with an atom in the center, each of which is shared between 2 unit cells for a space consumption of 6/2 = 3 atoms. So each unit cell consumes as much space as 4 atoms. Let's divide the number of atoms in that cubic centimeter by 4 to determine the number of unit cells in that volume. 8.472278233x10^22 / 4 = 2.118069558x10^22 Now calculate the volume each unit cell occupies. 1 cm^3 / 2.118069558x10^22 = 4.721280262x10^-23 cm^3 Let's get the cube root to get the length of an edge. (4.721280262x10^-23 cm^3)^(1/3) = 3.61426x10^-08 cm Now let's convert from cm to pm. 3.61426x10^-08 cm / 100 cm/m * 1x10^12 pm/m = 361.4 pm Doing an independent search for the Crystallographic Features of Copper, I see that the Lattice Parameter for copper at at 293 K is 3.6147 x 10^-10 m which is in very close agreement with the calculated amount above. And since metals expand and contract with heat and cold, I assume the slight difference in values is due to the density figure given being determined at a temperature lower than 293 K.</span>

Why do whales absorb CO2?
True [87]

Answer:

Whales facilitate carbon absorption in two ways. On the one hand, their movements — especially when diving — tend to push nutrients from the bottom of the ocean to the surface, where they feed the phytoplankton and other marine flora that suck in carbon, as well as fish and other smaller animals.

What sequence of enzymes allows for the synthesis of glycogen from glucose-6-phosphate?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The answer is (e) : phosphoglucomutase, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, glycogen synthase then amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase.

Explanation:

Phosphoglucomutase: Convert glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate.

UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase:  Form UDP-glucose from glucose-1-phosphate.

Glycogen synthase: Add the new glucose from UDP-glucose to the growing glycogen chain.

Amylo-(1,4-1,6)-transglycosylase: This is a branching enzyme, it initiates formation of branches evolving from the main chain.

A solution of ammonia and water contains 2.10×1025 water molecules and 7.10×1024 ammonia molecules. How many total hydrogen atom
Natali5045456 [20]

There are 6.33 × 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms in this solution in total.

<h3>Explanation</h3>
  • There are two hydrogen atoms in each water \text{H}_2\text{O} molecule.
  • There are three hydrogen atoms in each ammonia \text{NH}_3 molecule.

2.10 × 10²⁵ water molecules and 7.10 × 10²⁴ ammonia molecules will contain

2 \times 2.10 \times 10^{25} + 3 \times 7.10 \times 10^{24} = 6.33 \times 10^{25} hydrogen atoms in total.
