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

A 32.5 g iron rod, initially at 22.4 ∘C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.0 ∘C, in an insulated container. The f
Allisa [31]

Answer:

The mass of water m_{w} = 39.18 gm

Explanation:

Mass of iron m_{iron} = 32.5 gm

Initial temperature of iron T_{1} = 22.4°c = 295.4 K

Specific heat of iron  C_{iron} = 0.448 \frac{KJ}{kg K}

Mass of water = m_{w}

Specific heat of water  C_{w} = 4.2 \frac{KJ}{kg  K}

Initial temperature of water T_{2} = 336 K  

Final temperature after equilibrium T_{f} = 59.7°c = 332.7 K

When iron rod is submerged into water then

Heat lost by water  = Heat gain by iron rod

m_{w} C_{w} (T_{2} - T_{f} ) =  m_{iron} C_{iron} ( T_{f} - T_{1} )

Put all the values in above formula we get

m_{w} × 4.2 × ( 336 - 332.7 ) = 32.5 × 0.448 × ( 332.7 - 295.4 )

m_{w} = 39.18 gm

Therefore the mass of water m_{w} = 39.18 gm

Ann [662]
Equilibrium chemical reaction between chair and boat forms is:
Kc = \frac{[Boat form]}{[Chair form]}
Suppose the total number of molecules is x 
Number of molecules of chair form is 6.42/100 x
Number of molecules of boat form is 93.58/100 x
Kc = \frac{(0.9358x)}{(0.0642x)} = 14.6

What is the study of acid-base chemistry called in the environment
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

An acid is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis definition). A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond. Bases can be thought of as the chemical opposite of acids.

How do you expect the size of the atoms to change as you go from neon to argon to krypton
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The number of energy levels will increase.

Explanation:

As they are all Noble Gases, they are all in the same family. However, as you go further down the list of Noble Gases, the period number increases. The period number shows the number of energy levels. Hence, an increase in energy levels.
