Answer:

(a) a = 5.08x10⁻⁸ cm

(b) r = 179.6 pm  

Explanation:

(a) The lattice parameter "a" can be calculated using the following equation:

\rho = \frac{(N atoms/cell)*m}{V_{c}*N_{A}}      

<em>where ρ: is the density of Th = 11.72 g/cm³, N° atoms/cell = 4, m: is the atomic weight of Th = 232 g/mol, Vc: is the unit cell volume = a³, and </em>N_{A}<em>: is the Avogadro constant = 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol. </em>

Hence the lattice parameter is:  

a^{3} = \frac{(N atoms/cell)*m}{\rho *N_{A}} = \frac{4 atoms*232 g/mol}{11.72 g/cm^{3} *6.023 \cdot 10^{23} atoms/mol} = 1.32 \cdot 10^{-22} cm^{3}

a = \sqrt[3]{1.32 \cdot 10^{-22} cm^{3}} = 5.08 \cdot 10^{-8} cm

(b) We know that the lattice parameter of a FCC structure is:

a = \frac{4r}{\sqrt{2}}

<em>where r: is the atomic radius of Th</em>

Hence, the atomic radius of Th is:

r = \frac{a*\sqrt{2}}{4} = \frac{5.08 \cdot 10^{-8} cm*\sqrt{2}}{4} = 1.796 \cdot 10^{-8} cm = 179.6 pm    

I hope it helps you!

What is the mass, in pounds, of 389 mL of a gas that has a density of 1.29 g/L?
devlian [24]

Answer: Mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given : Mass of gas = ?

Density of gas = 1.29g/L

Volume of gas = 389 ml = 0.389 L     (1L=1000ml)

Putting in the values we get:

1.29g/L=\frac{mass}{0.389L}

mass=0.5grams  

mass=0.5\times 0.002lb=0.001lb       (1g =0.002 lb)

Thus the mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

Why can you never see the far side of the mood from earth?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer: -

C) because the moon rotates once on its axis in the same time that it takes to revolve around the earth

Explanation: -

The moon rotates about it's axis one full time at about the same time as it takes to rotate around the earth.

This leads to only one side of the moon always appearing to Earth, called the near side.

One side of the moon is always not seen from the earth. It is called the far side of the moon.

Thus we can never see the far side of the moon because the moon rotates once on its axis in the same time that it takes to revolve around the earth

The K w for water at 0 ∘ C is 0.12 × 10 − 14 . Calculate the pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 0 ∘ C.
dusya [7]

Answer:

pH = 7.46

Explanation:

2H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺  .  OH⁻          Kw = [H₃O⁺] . [OH⁻]

[H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻]

√0.12×10⁻¹⁴ = [H₃O⁺] → 3.46×10⁻⁸  M

- log  [H₃O⁺] = pH

- log 3.46×10⁻⁸ = pH → 7.46

An element that appears in the lower left corner of the periodic table is
Xelga [282]
This problem is honestly, very easy. Just grab a periodic table and find the element in Group 1 and Period 7. But first, let's discuss how the elements are arranged systematically in a periodic table. There are a lot of scientists who contributed to it, but the most famous one is Dimitri Mendeleev. He arranged the elements according to their atomic number. The elements starts from 1 which is Hydrogen up to the heaviest known elements which is Oganesson with an atomic number of 118. As you can observe, there is a gap between groups 3 and 4. This is done so that the periodic table does not take too much space horizontally. Thus, they are just placed at the bottom. These elements are called lanthanides (upper row) and actinides (lower row). The rows in the periodic table are called groups, and the columns are called periods.

Now, the element at the lower left corner (Group 1, Period 7) is Francium, abbreviated as Fr. It has an atomic number of 87. Some elements are actually synthesized, but Francium is a naturally occurring radioactive element. It was discovered by Marguerite Perey in France.
