Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      Mass = 27.9 g/mol

As we know that according to Avogadro's number there are 6.023 \times 10^{26} atom present in 1 mole. Therefore, weight of 1 atom will be as follows.

            1 atoms weight = \frac{38}{6.023 \times 10^{26}}    

In a diamond cubic cell, the number of atoms are 8. So, n = 8 for diamond cubic cell.

Therefore, total weight of atoms in a unit cell will be as follows.

            = \frac{8 \times 27.9 g/mol}{6.023 \times 10^{26}}

            = 37.06 \times 10^{-26}

Now, we will calculate the volume of a lattice with lattice constant 'a' (cubic diamond) as follows.

                   = a^{3}

                   = (0.503 \times 10^{-9})^{3}

                   = 0.127 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}

Formula to calculate density of diamond cell is as follows.

               Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

                             = \frac{37.06 \times 10^{-26}}{0.127 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}}

                            = 2918.1 g/m^{3}

or,                         = 0.0029 g/cc       (as 1 m^{3} = 10^{6} cm^{3})

Thus, we can conclude that density of given semiconductor in grams/cc is 0.0029 g/cc.

How many grams do 6.534e+24 molecules of phosphoric acid weigh?
fredd [130]

Answer:

1,063 grams H₃PO₄

Explanation:

To find the mass of phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), you should (1) convert molecules to moles (via Avogadro's number) and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass from periodic table).

Molar Mass (H₃PO₄): 3(1.008 g/mol) + 30.974 g/mol + 4(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mas (H₃PO₄): 97.99 g/mol

6.534 x 10²⁴ molecules H₃PO₄                       1 mole                         97.99 g
---------------------------------------------  x  -------------------------------------  x  --------------
                                                            6.022 x 10²³ molecules          1 mole

= 1,063 grams H₃PO₄

When the temperature of the gas changes from cold to hot, the amount of pressure is ___________.
Klio2033 [76]
The pressure would increase. When the temperature change form cold to hot, the gas will find ways to escape from containment. Thus, if it cannot escape that pressure will keep on increasing as the temperature rises.
