Calculate the unit cell edge length for an 79 wt% Ag- 21 wt% Pd alloy. All of the palladium is in solid solution, and the crysta

l structure for this alloy is FCC. Room temperature densities for Ag and Pd are 10.49 g/cm3 and 12.02 g/cm3, respectively, and their respective atomic weights are 107.87 g/mol and 106.4 g/mol. Report your answer in nanometers.

Answer:

The edge length is 0.4036 nm

Solution:

As per the question:

Density of Ag, \rho = 10.49 g/cm^{3}

Density of Pd, \rho = 12.02 g/cm^{3}

Atomic weight of Ag, A = 107.87 g/mol

Atomic weight of Pd, A' = 106.4 g/mol

Now,

The average density, \rho_{a} = \frac{n A_{avg}} {V_{c}\times N_{A}}

where

V_{c} = a^{3}  = Volume of crystal lattice

a = edge length

n = 4 = no. of atoms in FCC

Therefore,

\rho_{a} = = \frac{n A_{avg}} {V_{c}\times N_{A}}

Therefore, the length of the unit cell is given as:

a = (\frac{nA_{avg}}{\rho_{a}\times N_{a}})^{1/3}            (1)

Average atomic weight is given as:

A_{avg} = \frac{100}{\frac{C_{Ag}}{A_{Ag}} + \frac{C_{Pd}}{A_{Pd}}}

where

C_{Ag} = 79 %

A_{Ag} = 107

C_{Pd} = 21%

A_{Pd} = 106

Therefore,

A_{avg} = \frac{100}{\frac{79}{107} + \frac{21}{106}} = 106.78

In the similar way, average density is given as:

\rho_{a} = \frac{100}{\frac{C_{Ag}}{\rho_{Ag}} + \frac{C_{Pd}}{\rho_{Pd}}}

\rho_{a} = \frac{100}{\frac{79}{10.49} + \frac{21}{12.02}} = 10.78 g/cm^{3}

Therefore, edge length is given by eqn (1) as:

a = (\frac{4\times 106.78}{10.78\times 6.023 X 10^23})^{1/3} = 4.036\times 10^{- 8} cm = 0.4036\times 10^{- 9} m = 0.4036 nm

How do you know the earth is rotating on its axis
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Read below!

Explanation:

You can watch the sun wheel across the sky during the day, and the stars at night. Focus a telescope on any star besides the north star--especially southern stars--and you can watch them drift across your field of view.  

An alternative explanation is that all the stars are painted on (or holes in) some canopy that rotates around the earth. This explanation does not account for the motion of the "wanderers," or planets, as the Greeks called them, or for the path of the moon among the stars.  

As we know the stars are massive bodies of significant and varying distance to the earth, the notion they all swing around us in unison seems highly implausible

If the number of crests that pass a point in a given time increases, what has increased?
zysi [14]
The frequency increasing makes the crests pass more quickly.  Frequency is a count of how many times per second an event occurs.  In waves, this event is the passing of an entire cycle.  Once the cycle has passed, the wave repeats.  The faster the wave repeats, the higher the frequency.  For this reason, frequency has units of hertz, Hz.  The unit of hertz is 1/s or "per second"

An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th
zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega
