Answer is 0.289nm.

Explanation: The wt % of Fe and wt % of V is given for a Fe-V alloy.

wt % of Fe in Fe-V alloy = 85%

wt % of V in Fe-V alloy = 15%

We need to calculate edge length of the unit cell having bcc structure.

Using density formula,

\rho_{ave}=\frac{Z\times M_{ave}}{a^3\times N_A}

For calculating edge length,

a=(\frac{Z\times M_{ave}}{\rho_{ave}\times N_A})^{1/3}

For calculating M_{ave}, we use the formula

M_{ave}= \frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{V}}{M_V}}

Similarly for calculating (\rho)_{ave}, we use the formula

\rho_{ave}= \frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{\rho_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{V}}{\rho_V}}

From the periodic table, masses of the two elements can be written

M_{Fe}= 55.85g/mol

M_{V}=50.941g/mol

Specific density of both the elements are

(\rho)_{Fe}=7.874g/cm^3\\(\rho)_{V}=6.10g/cm^3

Putting  M_{ave} and \rho_{ave} formula's in edge length formula, we get

a=\left [\frac{Z\left (\frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}}  \right )}{N_A\left (\frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_V}{\rho_V}+\frac{(wt\%)_V}{\rho_V}}  \right )}  \right ]^{1/3}

a=\left [\frac{2atoms/\text{unit cell}\left (\frac{100}{\frac{85\%}{55.85g/mol}+\frac{15\%}{50.941g/mol}}  \right )}{(6.023\times10^{23}atoms/mol)\left (\frac{100}{\frac{85\%}{7.874g/cm^3}+\frac{15\%}{6.10g/cm^3}}  \right )}  \right ]^{1/3}

By calculating, we get

a=2.89\times10^{-8}cm=0.289nm

True or false. Gas particles never touch each other.
Sati [7]

Answer:

False.  In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion. The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! :)

One isotope of oxygen differs from another isotope of oxygen in *
Reptile [31]

Each isotope of Oxygen has a different number of neutrons

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

Isotopes are atoms has the same number of protons but has a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

Some of the isotopes of oxygen are:

\tt _8^{16}O,_8^{17}O,_8^{18}O

Each isotope has 8 protons and 8 electrons but has a different number of neutrons

For O-16: number of neutrons = 16-8 = 8

For O-17: number of neutrons = 17-8 = 9

For O-18: number of neutrons = 18-8 = 10

artcher [175]

Cross-section of a metal wire wrapped in plastic insulation the metal wire is an element.

<h3>What is an element?</h3>

An element is a substance or material that cannot be affected by an external substance or cannot be broken down by any reaction.

Metal wire is serving as an element, it should not be easily broken or penetrated as an insulator.

Therefore, Cross-section of a metal wire wrapped in plastic insulation the metal wire is an element.
