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 first law of thermodynamics is observed when
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The first law of Thermodynamics is known as Conservation because it explains that energy is always maintained within a closed system and cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, this is observed when there is no longer change in temperature in a system. Mainly because the energy is not being transferred to and from another system. Without this transfer of energy, the energy itself gets conserved within the system and the temperature no longer fluctuates.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Aquifer

Explanation:

Instead of snowcapped mountains that store water in advance of warmer temperatures, most of our drinking water comes from underground "mountains" of porous materials called aquifers which are replenished by rain. The Biscayne Aquifer is South Florida's lower east coast's primary source of fresh water.

Why do you think large differences in temperature between the wet bulb and dry bulb thermometers are possible only at higher tem
olganol [36]

Answer:

This is the temperature indicated by a moistened thermometer bulb exposed to the air flow. The evaporation is reduced when the air contains more water vapor. The wet bulb temperature is always lower than the dry bulb temperature but will be identical with 100% relative humidity.
