Answer:

Face Centered Cubic

Explanation:

In this question our strategy should be to determine the number of atoms in the unit cell since we know that the cubic structure can be:

primitive            = 1  atom/ unit cell  )

body centered  = 2 atoms/ unit cell )

face centered   = 4 atoms/ unit cell )

We know the density ( d= m/V ) ,  the volume can be computed and the molecular weight, so we have all the information required.

m unit cell  = # atoms in the unit cell x mass of 1 atom

Need to convert the lattice parameter, a,  in Angstroms  to cm for unit consitency with the density.

1 A = 10⁻⁸  cm

a = 6.0849  A x 1x 10⁻⁸ cm/A

a = 6.0849 A x  1.x 10⁻⁸ cm

⇒ V = a³ = ( 6.0849 x 10⁻⁸ cm)³ = 2.3 x 10⁻²² cm³

m  of the unit cell =  d x V  = 2.6 g/cm³ x  2.3 x 10⁻²² cm³ =  5.98 x 10⁻²² g

We need to convert the atomic weight per mol to atomic weight per atom:

87.62 g/ mol x (1 mol / 6.022 x ²³ atom ) = 1.45 x 10⁻²²  g/atom

Then this mass of 5.98 x 10⁻²² g must be equal to

5.98 x 10⁻²² g = # atoms/ unit cell x  1.45 x 10⁻²² g/atom

4.11  = # atoms/ unit cell

Rounding off to integer  # atoms/unit cell  = 4

Therefore the crystal structure of the cell is face centered cubic.

How many moles are equal to 3.0x10^23 atoms of germanium? PLS ANSWER WITH WORK!
horrorfan [7]
1 mole=6.02 x 10^23 atoms so how many moles are there in 3.0 x 10^23 we will cross multiply, 1 x 3.0 x 10^23 / 6.02 x 10 ^23. Which will give us 0.498 moles.

Drag and drop the terms into the correct locations to describe how the relationship between photosynthetic organisms and animals
g100num [7]

Answer:

Photosynthetic bacteria must take in <u>Carbon Dioxide</u> to live, and they release <u>Oxygen </u> . Animals must take <u>Oxygen </u> to live, and they release <u>Carbon Dioxide.</u>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy →   glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture  by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Photosynthetic bacteria perform same function as plants.  These bacteria contain light harvesting pigments absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

While animals take oxygen and release carbon dioxide to live. This respiration process is opposite to the photosynthesis.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Ions that are made of more than one atom are examples of
anastassius [24]
These ions are polyatomic ions. The prefix "poly-" means "many," and the rest of the word "atomic" clearly refers to the atoms themselves. So, if there are two or more atoms in an ion, this ion is polyatomic.
