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

Bacteria reproduce using
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates). ... Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell.

1. Energy in foods is provided by
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Energy in foods is provided by macro-nutrients.

Explanation:

Nutrients are “environmental substances” used for growth, energy, and bodily functions of the  organisms. Those nutrients that are required  in larger amounts are called macro-nutrients.

There are 3 macro-nutrients needed by humans: lipids (fats), carbohydrates (sugar) and proteins. All these macro-nutrients gives energy in  form of “calories”. For example:

  • In carbohydrates, there are '4 calories' of energy per gram.
  • In proteins, there are '4 calories' of energy per gram.
  • And in lipids, there are '9 calories' of energy in one gram.

This means that if you look at a food label and it lists 10 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat, that food would contain 40 calories.
