Answer:

lattice parameter = 5.3355x10^-8 cm

atomic radius = 2.3103x10^-8 cm

Explanation:

known data:

p=0.855 g/cm^3

atomic mass = 39.09 g/mol

atoms/cell = 2 atoms

Avogadro number = 6.02x10^23 atom/mol

a) the lattice parameter:

Since potassium has a cubic structure, its volume is equal to:

v = [(atoms/cell)x(atomic mass)/(p)x(Avogadro number)]

substituting values:

v =[(2)x(39.09)/(0.855x6.02x10^23)]=1.5189x10^-22 cm^3

but as the cell volume is

a^3 =v

a=\sqrt[3]{v}=\sqrt[3]{1.5189x10^{-22} } = 5.3355x10^-8 cm

for a BCC structure, the atomic radius is equal to

r=\frac{ax\sqrt{3} }{4}=\frac{5.3355x10^{-8}x\sqrt{3}  }{4}=2.3103x10^{-8}cm

How many moles are there in 3.612 x 1024 formula units of Na2SO4?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

<h3>Theanswer is 6 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L}  \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.612 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>6 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which of the following atoms would have a charge of +1?
erica [24]

Answer: An atom with 6 protons, 5 electrons, and 7 neutrons

Explanation: In this case, neutrons do not matter as they have a charge of 0, or no charge. A proton has a charge of +1 and an electron has a charge of -1. Since there are 6 protons, the total charge of the protons would be +6. Since there are 5 electrons the total charge of the electrons would be -5. +6 - 5 would result in a charge of +1. This means that this atom would have an overall charge of + 1. Basically, if there is one more proton than electron, then the overall charge of the atom will be +1 but if there is one more electron than proton, then the overall charge of the atom will be -1.

Calculate the volume of a 1.25 M solution of HCN made from 31 grams of HCN
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

V HCNsln = 0.9176 L

Explanation:

V HCNsln = ?

∴ m HCN = 31 g

∴ <em>C</em> HCNsln = 1.25 mol/L

∴ molar mass HCN = 27.0253 g/mol

⇒ V HCNsln = (31 g)*(mol/27.0253 g)*(L/1.25 mol) = 0.9176 Lsln

An object has a mass of 4 grams and a volume of 2 cm^3.what is the density of the object?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

2.0 grams per cubic centimeter

Explanation:

(You can refer to the DMV triangle to help you solve this!)

Density = Mass/Volume

Density = 4.0g/2.0cm3

Density = 2.0g/cm3

Hope this helps!!!
