Answer :

(a) Total number of atoms in the cell = 6

(b) The coordination number of HCP is, 12

(c) The atomic packing factor is, 74.0 %

Explanation :

<u>Hexagonal close-packed structure (HCP) :</u>

Crystal structure : The manner in which the atoms or ions are spatially arranged.

(a) The HCP unit cell consist of three primitive unit cells in a hexagonal prism. That means, 3 atoms are in the middle layer and 12 atoms are at top and bottom layers and 2 face atoms.

So, the total number of atoms in the cell = 3 + (1/2)×2 + (1/6)×6 × 2 = 6

(b) Coordination number : It is defined as any constituent particle in a crystal is the number of its nearest neighbours.

The coordination number of HCP is, 12

(c) Packing fraction or factor : It is defined as the percentage of the total space filled by the particles.

\text{Packing factor}=\frac{n\times V_{atom}}{V_{cell}}\times 100

\text{Packing factor}=\frac{6\times (\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)}{24\sqrt{2}r^3}\times 100

\text{Packing factor}=74.0\%

For the following systems at equilibrium C: CaCO3(s) ⇌ CaO(s)+CO2(g) ΔH=+178 kJ/mol D: PCl3(g)+Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) ΔH=−88 kJ/mol cl
Rama09 [41]

Explanation:

C: CaCO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons CaO(s)+CO_2(g)ΔH=+178 kJ/mol

For an endothermic reaction, heat is getting absorbed during a chemical reaction and is written on the reactant side.

A+\text{heat}\rightleftharpoons B

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.  This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Treat heat as a reactant and on increasing a reactant at equilibrium, shifts the reaction in the forward direction.

Increase temperature →  increase in heat → forward direction

Decrease temperature →  decease in heat → backward direction

System C - Increase temperature : Reaction will move forward

System C - Decrease temperature : Reaction will move backward

D: PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g) ΔH=−88 kJ/mol

The total enthalpy of the reaction comes out to be negative .

The temperature of the surrounding will increase.

For an exothermic reaction, heat is released during a chemical reaction and is written on the product side.

A\rightleftharpoons B+\text{ heat}

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.  This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Treat heat as a product and on increasing a product at equilibrium, shifts the reaction in the backward direction.

Increase temperature →  increase in heat → backward direction

Decrease temperature →  decease in heat → forward direction

System D - Increase temperature : Reaction will move backward

System D - Decrease temperature : Reaction will move forward

How do you convert from grabs to moles of a substance
Lorico [155]

The correct question is as follows:

How do you convert from grams to moles of a substance

1. Divide by the molar mass

2. Subtract the molar mass

3. Add the molar mass

4. Multiple by the molar mass

Answer: In order to convert from grams to moles of a substance divide by the molar mass.

Explanation:

The number of moles of a substance is the mass of substance in grams divided by its molar mass.

The formula to calculate moles is as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

This means that grams are converted to moles when grams is divided by molar mass.

Thus, we can conclude that in order to convert from grams to moles of a substance divide by the molar mass.

A breeder nuclear reactor is a reactor in which nonfissile U-238 is converted into fissile Pu-239. The process involves bombardm
VARVARA [1.3K]

<u>Answer:</u> The nuclear equations for the given process is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the bombardment of neutron to U-238 isotope follows:

_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}+n\rightarrow _{92}^{239}\textrm{U}

Beta decay is defined as the process in which neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

The chemical equation for the first beta decay process of _{92}^{239}\textrm{U} follows:

_{92}^{239}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{93}^{239}\textrm{Np}+_{-1}^0\beta

The chemical equation for the second beta decay process of _{93}^{239}\textrm{Np} follows:

_{93}^{239}\textrm{Np}\rightarrow _{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}+_{-1}^0\beta

Hence, the nuclear equations for the given process is written above.

Which type of element is not likely to react chemically with other elements to form a compound?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The noble gases with complete outermost shell electrons.

Explanation:

Noble gases or inert gases do not react chemically with other elements because they have a complete configuration of their electronic shells. What drives chemical reaction is simply the exchange of electrons between two or more atoms. It can be a loss, a gain or simple sharing of electrons in order to achieve a complete configuration just like those of noble gases.
