Zinc blende, or sphalerite, can be described as having a face-centered cubic unit cell with sulfur atoms at each lattice point a

nd four zinc atoms within the unit cell. What is the empirical formula for this material? Follow standard convention for writing an empirical formula (ex. for AlCl3 enter AlCl3 not Cl3Al).

Answer:

ZnS  

Explanation:

1. Number of Zn atoms

4 internal atoms = 4 Zn atoms

2. Number of S atoms

8 corners × ⅛ S atom/corner + 6 faces × ½ S atom/face = 1 S atom + 3 S atoms = 4 S atoms

3. Empirical formula

The atomic ratio is

4Zn:4S = 1Zn:1S

The empirical formula is ZnS.

Calculate the molality of 2.0 M MgCl2 solution. The density of the solution is 1.127 g/mL. (The molar mass of MgCl2 = 95.211 g/m
Elan Coil [88]

The answer is 2.135 mol/Kg

Given that molarity is 2M, that is, 2 moles in 1 liter of solution.

Density of solution is 1.127 g/ml

Volume of solution is 1L or 1000 ml

mass of solution (m) = density × volume

m₁ = density × volume = 1.127 × 1000 = 1127 g

mass of solute, m₂ = number of moles × molar mass

m₂ = 2 × 95.211

m₂ = 190.422 g

mass of solvent = m₁ - m₂

= 1127 - 190.422

= 936.578 g

= 0.9366 Kg

molality = number of moles of solute / mass of solvent (in kg)

= 2 / 0.9366

= 2.135 mol/Kg

From the list below, choose which groups are part of the periodic table
Nata [24]

The periodic table of the elements are describe the electronic configuration of the elements on which the properties of the elements depends. Among the given groups only metal, non-metal and semi-metal group are the part of periodic table. The metallic property depends upon the binding energy of the electrons with the nucleus. Thus the elements which have the valence electrons more near to the nucleus that is s-block elements are more metallic in nature. On the other hand the elements which have the valence electrons far from the nucleus are more non-metallic in nature like p-block elements. However the binding energy or the attraction of the outermost electrons to the nucleus depends not only its valence electrons position but also some other factors like shielding effect, effective nuclear charge etc.

The elements which are in between the metals and non-metals can be classified as semi-metals.

Although the conductivity of a material is an inherent property of the metals but sometime the nonmetals or semi-metals are also behave like a conductor due to presence of the other elements, thus it cannot be a p[property of the periodic table. Similarly acidity, flammable gases are not part of the periodic table.

Difference between cold process soap making and hot process soap making​
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Unlike cold process soap, the essential oils or fragrance/additives are added after gel phase. ... Cold process soap heats from the inside out, while hot process soap heats from the outside in. Unlike cold process soap, that lasts for 4-6 weeks, hot process soap can be used immediately after it hardens.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Both answer choice 2 and answer choice 3 are correct choices.

Explanation:

Biotic factors are living components in an ecosystem. They are living organisms which affect another living component in an ecosystem.

Antibiotic factors are non living components of an ecosystem. They are chemicals which affect living organisms.

The choice 2 is correct. The seeds spread out by mice is a biotic factor interacting with an antibiotic factor

Choice 3 is correct. The seeds in the soil grow into new trees are biotic factors interacting with an antibiotic factor
