What is the edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell that is made of of atoms, each with a radius of 154 pm

Chemistry

gladu [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell is 435.6 pm.

Explanation:

In a face-centered cubic unit cell, each of the eight corners is occupied by one atom and each of the six faces is occupied by a single atom.

Hence, the number of atoms in an FCC unit cell is:

8*\frac{1}{8} + 6*\frac{1}{2} = 4 atoms

In a face-centered cubic unit cell, to find the edge length we need to use Pythagorean Theorem:

a^{2} + a^{2} = (4R)^{2}     (1)

Where:

a: is the edge length

R: is the radius of each atom = 154 pm      

By solving equation (1) for "a" we have:

a = 2R\sqrt{2} = 2*154 pm*\sqrt{2} = 435.6 pm    

Therefore, the edge length of a face-centered cubic unit cell is 435.6 pm.   

I hope it helps you!

How does a catalyst increase the rate of a reaction?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

C) It provides a lower activation energy for the reaction is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • A catalyst increases the rate of the chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy for a reaction.
  • Catalyst is used to increase the reaction rate, it remains unchanged in the chemical reaction and it does not change the equilibrium constant.
  • Activation energy is a minimum amount of energy required to initiate the reaction.

If total pressure of multiple gases is 512 mmHg, and the pressure of oxygen gas is 332 mmHg and the pressure of carbon monoxide
deff fn [24]

Answer: 67 mmHg

Explanation:

According to Dalton's Gas Law, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the pressure of each individual gas.

i.e Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + .......

In this case,

Ptotal = 512 mmHg

P(oxygen) = 332 mmHg

P(carbon mono-oxide) = 113 mmHg

Remaining pressure (P3) = ?

To get P3, apply Dalton's Gas Law formula

Ptotal = P(oxygen) + P(carbon mono-oxide) + P3

512 mmHg = 332 mmHg + 113 mmHg + P3

512 mmHg = 445 mmHg + P3

P3 = 512 mmHg - 445 mmHg

P3 = 67 mmHg

Thus, the remaining pressure is 67 mmHg
