Answer:

Molecules start out unevenly distributed and end up evenly distributed.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the process by which molecules of a substance move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration until equilibrium is attained.

Molecules start out unevenly distributed and end up evenly distributed in a particular medium. Diffusion occurs due to the particulate nature of matter. When the particles that make up a substance are concentrated at a point, the collide more often with one another causing each molecule to spread out in order to occupy all the available space.

Diffusion occurs in gases, liquids and solids but occurs fastest in gases. Diffusion can be observed for example, in the spread of the smell of a dead rat from one point in a room to every part of the room.

How many atoms are centered on the (100) plane for the fcc crystal structure?

Setler [38]

Here, we have to get the number of atoms present in the 100 plane of the FCC crystal lattice.

There will be 2 atoms in 100 plane of FCC crystal lattice.

In the face centered crystal (FCC) lattice there are atoms at each corner of the cube and each are shared by 4 another atoms. And an atom is present at the face of the crystal.

For the 100 plane of the Miller indices the intercepts are a, ∞, ∞ or 2a, ∞, ∞.

Thus, for the 4 atoms of the corner at the cube shared by 4 other atoms will contribute, 4 × $\frac{1}{4}$ = 1 and the un-shared atoms at the face will contribute another 1, which make the total atom 1 + 1 = 2.

A mysterious white powder could be powdered sugar (C12H22O11), cocaine (C17H21NO4), codeine (C18H21NO3), norfenefrine (C8H11NO2)

rodikova [14]

Norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We will solve a case related to one of the colligative properties, namely freezing point depression.

The freezing point of the solution is the temperature at which the solution begins to freeze. The difference between the freezing point of the solvent and the freezing point of the solution is called freezing point depression.

$\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = T_f(solvent) - T_f(solution) \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times molality \ }$

<u>Given:</u>

A mysterious white powder could be,

powdered sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) with a molar mass of 342.30 g/moles,
cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁NO₄) with a molar mass of 303.35 g/moles,
codeine (C₁₈H₂₁NO₃) with a molar mass of 299.36 g/moles,
norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂) with a molar mass of 153.18 g/moles, or
fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆) with a molar mass of 180.16 g/moles.

When 82 mg of the powder is dissolved in 1.50 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/cm³, normal freezing point −114.6°C, Kf = 1.99°C/m), the freezing point is lowered to −115.5°C.

<u>Question: </u>What is the identity of the white powder?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us identify the solute, the solvent, initial, and final temperatures.

The solute = the powder
The solvent = ethanol
The freezing point of the solvent = −114.6°C
The freezing point of the solution = −115.5°C

Prepare masses of solutes and solvents.

Mass of solute = 82 mg = 0.082 g
Mass of solvent = density x volume, i.e., $\boxed{ \ 0.789 \ \frac{g}{cm^3} \times 1.50 \ cm^3 = 1.1835 \ g = 0.00118 \ kg \ }$

We must prepare the solvent mass unit in kg because the unit of molality is the mole of the solute divided by the mass of the solvent in kg.

The molality formula is as follows:

$\boxed{ \ m = \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{kg \ of \ solvent} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }$

Now we combine it with the formula of freezing point depression.

$\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }$

It is clear that we will determine the molar mass of the solute (denoted by Mr).

We enter all data into the formula.

$\boxed{ \ -114.6^0C - (-115.5^0C) = 1.99 \frac{^0C}{m} \times \frac{0.082 \ g}{Mr \times 0.00118 \ kg} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ 0.9 = \frac{1.99 \times 0.082}{Mr \times 0.00118} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ Mr = \frac{0.16318}{0.9 \times 0.00118} \ }$

We get $\boxed{ \ Mr = 153.65 \ }$

These results are very close to the molar mass of norfenefrine which is 153.18 g/mol. Thus the white powder is norfenefrine.
