Calculate the unit cell edge length for an 78 wt% Ag- 22 wt% Pd alloy. All of the palladium is in solid solution, and the crysta

l structure for this alloy is FCC. Room temperature densities for Ag and Pd are 10.49 g/cm3 and 12.02 g/cm3, respectively, and their respective atomic weights are 107.87 g/mol and 106.4 g/mol. Report your answer in nanometers.

Answer:

The unit cell edge length for the alloy is 0.405 nm

Explanation:

Given;

concentration of Ag, C_{Ag} = 78 wt%

concentration of Pd, C_P_d = 22 wt%

density of Ag = 10.49 g/cm³

density of Pd = 12.02 g/cm³

atomic weight of Ag, A_A_g = 107.87 g/mol

atomic weight of iron, A_P_d = 106.4 g/mol

Step 1: determine the average density of the alloy

\rho _{Avg.} = \frac{100}{\frac{C_A_g}{\rho _A_g} + \frac{C__{Pd}}{\rho _{Pd}} }

\rho _{Avg.} = \frac{100}{\frac{78}{10.49} + \frac{22}{12.02} } = 10.79 \ g/cm^3

Step 2: determine the average atomic weight of the alloy

A _{Avg.} = \frac{100}{\frac{C_v}{A _A_g} + \frac{C__{Pd}}{A _{Pd}} }

A _{Avg.} = \frac{100}{\frac{78}{107.87} + \frac{22}{106.4} } = 107.54 \ g/mole

Step 3: determine unit cell volume

V_c=\frac{nA_{avg.}}{\rho _{avg.} N_a}

for a FCC crystal structure, there are 4 atoms per unit cell; n = 4

V_c=\frac{4*107.54}{ 10.79*6.022*10^{23}} = 6.620*10^{-23} \ cm^3/cell

Step 4: determine the unit cell edge length

Vc = a³

a = V_c{^\frac{1}{3} }\\\\a = (6.620*10^{-23}}){^\frac{1}{3}}\\\\a = 4.05 *10^{-8} \ cm= 0.405 nm

Therefore, the unit cell edge length for the alloy is 0.405 nm

<h3>What is the scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method is a series of step used to validate evidence and thus formulate theories.

Darwin used the scientific method to draw conclusions about the main mechanism of evolution, i.e., natural selection.

The scientific method involves making a question, providing an explanation of the hypothesis, making observations/experiments (which include experimental and control groups), and drawing conclusions.

The empirical data serve to test a hypothesis (either confirm or reject it) by contrasting its results with predictive outcomes.

The strength of the conclusions can be enhanced by using supporting evidence from other research fields (in this case, for example, the fossil record).

In conclusion, an experiment on Natural Selection includes mechanisms (question), explanation (hypothesis), estimation of the frequency of the trait in the population (prediction) and comparisons (control group).
