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.

What occurs along a convergent plate boundary
HACTEHA [7]
At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.

What was used to build the phylogenetic
Gnom [1K]
A phylogenetic tree may be built using morphological (body shape), biochemical, behavioral, or molecular features of species or other groups. In building a tree, we organize species into nested groups based on shared derived traits (traits different from those of the group's ancestor).

We have 1700 Tonnes of Amoniac every day. How many tonnes of 63% Nitrogen soda we can get?
V125BC [204]
There are 3 equations involved in manufacturing Nitric Acid from Ammonia. 

First the ammonia is oxidized:
4NH3 + 5O2 = 4NO + 6H2O

Then for the absorption of the nitrogen oxides.
2NO + O2 = N2O4

Lastly, the N2O4 is further oxidized into Nitric acid.
3N2O4 + 2H2O = 4HNO3 + 2NO

Then run stoichiometry through these equations.
The first equation produces roughly 271,722,938 grams of NO
The second equation produces roughly 416,606,944 grams of N2O4
The last equation produces roughly 380,412,294 grams of HNO3 (nitric acid)

Convert the exact number back into tons, and your answer is: 419.332775 tons.

Rounded, I'm going to say that's 419.33 tons.
Hope this helps! :)

Also, it seems that commercially, Nitric Acid is commonly made by bubbling NO2 into water, rather than using ammonia.
