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.

While burning coal and charcoal, you notice that coal releases more heat than charcoal. That means that the... 1. elastic energy
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

3). Chemical potential energy

1). lower in charcoal than in coal.

Explanation:

Chemical potential energy is defined as the energy that can be absorbed or stored in a substance's chemical bonds. It can be released when there is a change in the number of particles of the substance.

As per the question, coal releases more heat than charcoal because 'the chemical potential energy of charcoal is lower than the coal' <u><em>and hence, the latter would release more heat on burning i.e. the energy that was absorbed in the chemical bonds of the substance</em></u>. Hence, option 3 and 1 are the correct answers.

3 reasons why aluminium is used in making of cooking vessels
Annette [7]

Answer is : It is a good thermal and electrical conductor. -The main point to be noted is that aluminium is a highly reactive element and still it is used for making cooking utensils. The reason is that aluminium has a very high affinity for oxygen. So, it reacts with oxygen and forms a layer of aluminium oxide on its surface.

Why must living things rely on thousands of catalysts for chemical reactions necessary for life?
Murrr4er [49]
Well, you don't need enzymes (biological catalysts) if you're willing to wait a century or two to digest a burger.

Without catalysts, complex reactions like digestion would take too long and the organism could not extract energy from the nutrients it eats in a practical time frame.

In addition, speed is everything in the biological world.

Some reactions and their speed relative to other organisms reactions determines who survives and who doesn't, among other aspects of life.

If a plant is slow to photosynthesize and grow in a habitat high in competition for sunlight real estate, other autotrophs will surely take over.
