Answer:

Steep slopes on the contour map are identified using contour lines which are closely spaced.

Explanation:

Contour map also known as topographic maps are used to represent the three-dimensional portion of the earth’s surface in two-dimensional space. This map is used to represent the surface of the land such as steep, slopes, valleys. The contour maps are used in geological studies to understand the configuration of the earth's surface. Terms like map scale, vertical scale, contour lines are used on the contour map. Elevations are represented using contour lines. Contour lines placed very close to each represent the steep slopes and contour lines that are spaced farther away from each other represent the gentle slopes.

Answer:3Li+YbCl3=Yb +3LiCl

Explanation:as there are three cl in the first one so to balance them we will put 3before LiCl in order to make Cl balanced now there are 3 Li also so put before Li 3 making it also balanced Yb is balanced already

creativity is the very element in science that helps us understand things. if we didn't have creative minds, we would never conduct experiments that help us discover things.

hope this helps, good luck!:)

Molybdenum (Mo) has a body centered cubic unit cell. The density of Mo is 10.28 g/cm3. Determine (a) the edge length of the unit

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

For a: The edge length of the unit cell is 314 pm

For b: The radius of the molybdenum atom is 135.9 pm

Explanation:

For a:

To calculate the edge length for given density of metal, we use the equation:

$\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}$

where,

$\rho$ = density = $10.28g/cm^3$

Z = number of atom in unit cell = 2 (BCC)

M = atomic mass of metal (molybdenum) = 95.94 g/mol

$N_{A}$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}$

a = edge length of unit cell =?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10.28=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times (a)^3}\\\\a^3=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times 10.28}=3.099\times 10^{-23}\\\\a=\sqrt[3]{3.099\times 10^{-23}}=3.14\times 10^{-8}cm=314pm$
