0.259 52 . The fraction of empty space in a ccp cell is 0.259 52

Cubic closest packing is another name for <em>face centred cubic</em>.

Refer to the attached diagram of an fcc unit cell from <em>hemantmore</em>.

<h2>a) <em>Volume of atoms in unit cell </em></h2>

a. <em>Number of atoms in unit cell </em>

In an fcc lattice, there are eight atoms at the eight corners of the cube and one at the centre of each face

∴ No. of atoms

= 8 corners x (1/8 atom)/(1 corner) + 6 faces x (½ atom/1 face)

= 1 atom + 3 atoms = 4 atoms

b. <em>Volume of atoms </em>

Let <em>r</em> be the radius of an atom. Then

Volume of 1 atom = (4/3)π<em>r</em>^3

Total volume of atoms = 4 atoms × [(4/3)π<em>r</em>^3]/(1 atom) = (16/3)π<em>r</em>^3

<h2>b) <em>Volume of unit cell </em></h2>

The length of the diagonal AB is

AB = 4<em>r</em>

Let <em>a</em> be the edge length of the cube.

AB^2 = AC^^2 + BC^2

(4<em>r</em>)^2 = <em>a</em>^2 + <em>a</em>^2

16<em>r</em>^2= 2<em>a</em>^2

<em>a</em>^2 = 8<em>r</em>^2

<em>a</em> = <em>r</em>x8^½

<em>V</em> = <em>a</em>^3 = (<em>r</em>x8^½)^3 = 8<em>r</em>^3x8^½

<h2>c) <em>Fraction of occupied space</em> (packing efficiency, PE) </h2>

PE = Volume of atoms/Volume of cell = [(16/3)π<em>r</em>^3]/[ 8<em>r</em>^3x8^½]

= 2π/(3x8^½)

<h2>d) <em>Fraction of empty space </em></h2>

Fraction of empty space = 1 - PE = 1 - 2π/(3x8^½) = 1 – 0.740 480

= 0.259 52

elena55 [62]

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

\text { Myristic acid } \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{12} \mathrm{COOH} \\& \text { Palmitic acid } \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{14} \mathrm{COOH} \\

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

Giving it a greater surface area and therefore more intermolecular  van der waals interact than the myristic acid.

stearic arid \mathrm{CH}_3\left(\mathrm{CH}_2\right)_{16} \mathrm{COOH}

linoleic acid \mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{32} \mathrm{O}_2 (two double bond)

Stearic acid has higher Melting point, because it does not have any Carbon-Carbon double bonds, whereas linoleic acid has two cis double bonds which prevent the molecules from packing closely together.

Oleic Acid and Linoleic acid.

Acid palmitic acid has higher melting point, because it has two more methylene groups.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

B. Carry oxygen, nutrients, waste, & to fight pathogens

Explanation:

The circulatory system refers to all organs and tissues involved in carrying blood and lymph around the body.

The circulatory system carries oxygenated blood from the heart to cells and  deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Nutrients are carried in the blood to cells in different parts of the body and waste products are also carried from cells in the blood.

White blood cells is a component of blood in the circulatory system that fights off diseases.
