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.

Gnesinka [82]

For the absorbance of the solution in a 1.00 cm cell at 500 nm  is mathematically given as

A’ = 0.16138

<h3>What is the absorbance of the solution in a 1.00 cm cell at 500 nm?</h3>

Absorbance (A) 2 – log (%T) = 2 – log (15.6) = 0.8069

Generally, the equation for the Beer’s law is mathematically given as

A = ε*c*l

0.8069 = ε*c*(5.00 )

ε*c = 0.16138 cm-1

then for when ε*c is constant

l’ = 1.00

A’ = (0.16138 cm-1)*(1.00 cm)

A’ = 0.16138

In conclusion, the absorbance of the solution in a 1.00 cm cell at 500 nm is

A’ = 0.16138

What is the reaction when magnesium becomes magnesium oxide
Oliga [24]
Magnesium and oxygen reacting to form magnesium oxide is a synthesis reaction. This reaction occurs when many reactants proceeds to reaction forming a single product. Synthesis reactions release energy in the form of light or heat, therefore they are exothermic reaction.
