Which type of formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of the elements in a compound?

1 answer:

5 0

The empirical formula represents the simplest whole number shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. An example of this is the empirical formula for glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is C₃H₆O₃.

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Calculate the energy (in J/atom) for vacancy formation in silver, given that the equilibrium number of vacancies at 800 C is 3.6

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

the energy vacancies for formation in silver is $\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Explanation:

Given that:

the equilibrium number of vacancies at 800 °C

i.e T = 800°C is 3.6 x 10¹⁷ cm3

Atomic weight of sliver = 107.9 g/mol

Density of silver = 9.5 g/cm³

Let's first determine the number of atoms in silver

Let silver be represented by N

SO;

$N = \dfrac{N_A* \rho _{Ag}}{A_{Ag}}$

where ;

$N_A =$ avogadro's number = $6.023*10^{23} \ atoms/mol$

$\rho _{Ag}$ = Density of silver = 9.5 g/cm³

$A_{Ag}$ = Atomic weight of sliver = 107.9 g/mol

$N = \dfrac{(6.023*10^{23} \ atoms/mol)*( 9.5 \ g/cm^3)}{(107.9 \ g/mol)}$

N = 5.30 × 10²⁸ atoms/m³

However;

The equation for equilibrium number of vacancies can be represented by the equation:

$N_v = N \ e^{^{-\dfrac{Q_v}{KT}}$

From above; Considering the natural logarithm on both sides; we have:

$In \ N_v =In N - \dfrac{Q_v}{KT}$

Making $Q_v$ the subject of the formula; we have:

${Q_v = - {KT} In( \dfrac{ \ N_v }{ N})$

where;

K = Boltzmann constant = 8.62 × 10⁻⁵ eV/atom .K

Temperature T = 800 °C = (800+ 273) K = 1073 K

$Q _v =-( 8.62*10^{-5} \ eV/atom.K * 1073 \ K) \ In( \dfrac{3.6*10^{17}}{5.3 0*10^{28}})$

$\mathbf{Q_v = 2.38 \ eV/atom}$

Where;

1 eV = 1.602176565 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Then

$Q_v = (2.38 \ * 1.602176565 * 10^{-19} ) J/atom }$

$\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Thus, the energy vacancies for formation in silver is $\mathbf{Q_v = 3.069*10^{-4} \ J/atom}$

Why is earth's surface warmer in the northern hemisphere when it is summer there

RideAnS [48]

<span>By definition, summer is the portion of the year in which the hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, so that sunlight strikes the surface more directly. When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa</span>
