Answer:

Understanding the unit cell of a crystalline solid will help you in determining the empirical formula of the ionic solid compound because they both represent the smallest portion of the whole crystalline solid proportion.

Explanation:

A unit cell is the smallest portion of a crystal lattice, that can show the 3 dimensional pattern of the whole crystal.A formula unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions in a an ionic compound.By considering the smallest repeating units/ unit cell, you can describe the structure of a crystalline solid.Knowing this can help in determining the empirical formula of the ionic solid compound.

The temperature in a town started out at 55 degrees. By the end of the day the temperature dropped to -6 degrees.

Answer:

The choice of the answer is fourth option that is -61 degrees.

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.

Explanation:

Given:

The temperature in a town started out at 55 degrees

Start temperature = 55°Centigrade. (Initial temperature)

End of the Day = -6°Centigrade. (Final temperature)

To Find:

How far did the temperature drop?

Solution:

We will have,

$\textrm{Temperature drop}=\textrm{Final temperature}-\textrm{Initial temperature}$

Substituting the above values in it we get

$\textrm{Temperature drop}=-6-55\\\\\therefore \textrm{Temperature drop}=-61\° centigrade$

Therefore the temperature drop is -61°Centigrade.
