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

Which disease or disorder affects the lower respiratory system? Tuberculosis, laryngitis, sinus-itis, the common cold.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Tuberculosis

Explanation:

Tuberculosis is a disease of lower respiratory system because it's affect the lungs and the voice box . It is a bacteria disease that affect the lungs and it is very contagious. It can spread rapidly to the brain and spine. Most times people with tuberculosis did not show symptoms but when there is symptoms,the symptoms include cough with blood, night sweats, fever e t.c.

A 2.0 kg puck is at rest on a level table. It is pushed straight north with a constant force of 5N for 1.50 s and then let go. H
lukranit [14]

Answer:

d = 6.32 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a puck, m = 2 kg

It is pushed straight north with a constant force of 5N for 1.50 s and then let go.

We need to find the distance covered by the puck when move from rest in 2.25 s.

We know that,

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\a=2.5\ m/s^2

Let d is the distance moved in 2.25 s. Using second equation of motion,

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times (2.25)^2\\\\d=6.32\ m

So, it will move 6.32 m from rest in 2.25 seconds.

Most of an atom is empty space.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Iteru [2.4K]
 <span>Yes, the vast majority of an atom is indeed empty space. Most of it's mass is centered in the nucleus. Flying around the nucleus are the electrons, but they're very very far away (on an atomic level anyway). Most of the atom is the space between the nucleus and the electrons.</span>
