Gold forms face-centered cubic crystals. The atomic radius of a gold atom is 144 pm. Consider the face of a unit cell with the n

uclei of the gold atoms at the lattice points. The atoms are in contact along the diagonal. Calculate the length of an edge of this unit cell.

Answer:

The length of an edge of this unit cell is 407.294 pm

Explanation:

Face centered cubic structure contains 4 atoms in each unit cell and 12 coordination number, occupying about 74% volume of the total cell. Face centered cubic structure is known for efficient use of space for atom packing.

To determine the edge length, a relationship between the radius of the atom and edge length is used.

X = R√8

Where;

X is the length of an edge of this unit cell

R is the radius of the gold atom = 144 pm = 144 X 10⁻¹² m

X = 144 X 10⁻¹²√8

X = 407.294 X 10⁻¹² m

X = 407.294 pm

Therefore, the length of an edge of this unit cell is 407.294 pm

The melting point of phenol is 40.5∘C and that of toluene is −95∘C. What is the best explanation for this difference? Select the
romanna [79]

Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

The (−OH) group on phenol can form hydrogen bonds, and the −CH3 group on toluene cannot.

Phenol has only one hydrogen on the −OH group available to form hydrogen bonds, so the hydrogen bond is stronger. In toluene, the hydrogen bond is spread over all three hydrogens on the methyl group, so the interaction is weaker overall.

Phenol has a higher molecular mass than toluene.

when metals react they ________________ (gain/lose) electrons. as you go down any group containing metals, it becomes easier to
balandron [24]

Answer:

When metals react they lose electrons.

Explanation:

An ion is defined as a molecule or atom made up of a different number of electrons and protons. This makes the electric charge of the molecule net, not neutral.

In other words, an ion is a molecule or atom that has a positive or negative electric charge, making it an atom whose electric charge is not neutral.

The characteristic property of a metallic atom is to lose one or more of its electrons to form a positive ion. That is, metals lose electrons and acquire a net positive charge, which is why they are electropositive.

Speeds up the reaction but does not change k
notka56 [123]
The answer is catalyst.

A catalyst is characterized by acceleration the rate of a chemical reaction but not modifiy the equilibrium, which is what k represents (the constant of equilibrium of the reaction).

The catalyst manages that the reaction goes through a different pathway, with a lower activation energy, so the transition compound is reached faster and the whole reaction goes faster, but the final species and their equilibriium concentrations do not change.
