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

De acuerdo con la Ley de la Conservación de la Materia postulada por Lavoisier, ¿cuál ecuación química está balanceada? A C2H5OH
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

C C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2 + 3H2O

Explanation:

La ley de conservación de la materia implica que en una reacción química los átomos en los reactivos son iguales a la cantidad de átomos en los productos:

A C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → CO2 + H2O

En los reactivos hay dos átomos de carbono pero en los productos solo 1. De esta manera, no cumple la ley de conservación.

B C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → 2CO2 + H2O

En los reactivos hay 6 átomos de hidrógeno pero en los productos solo 2. No cumple la ley de conservación.

C C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2 + 3H2O

En los reactivos y productos hay: 2 átomos de carbono, 6 átomos de hidrógeno y 7 átomos de oxígeno. Cumple la ley de conservación.

D C2H5OH(l) + O2(g) → 2CO2 + 3H2O

En los reactivos hay 3 átomos de oxígeno y en los productos 7. No cumple la ley de conservación.

E 2C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) → 2CO2 + 3H2O

En los reactivos hay 4 átomos de carbono y en los productos solo dos. No cumple la ley de conservación.

dsp73

Answer: An insulator would be made out of material unable to conduct electricity due to lack of fluid movement for electrons, such as rubber. Rubber properties not only prevents them from freely moving, but also helps electrons stay tightly bound to each other.

Hope this helps ^_^
