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!

Which mechanisms is most significant in returning the ion concentrations to the resting state?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Active transport by the Na+-K+ pump

Explanation:

Active transport by the Na+-K+ pump

Maintenance (and restoration) of the resting ion concentrations depends on the Na+-K+ pump. Once gated ion channels are closed, the combined action of the pump and ion leakage (particularly that of K+) establishes a resting membrane potential in a typical neuron of around âˆ'70 mV.

Which two statements describe what happens to the nuclei of atoms during a fusion reaction? O A. Large nuclei break apart into t
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

D. Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

B. A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to energy

Explanation:

A nuclear fusion, in contrary to fission, is the process by which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a much larger atom with a large nuclei. Likewise, during a fusion reaction, a large amount of energy is released from the small amount of mass in the nuclei (two) that combines.

According to this question, the following are true of a fusion reaction:

- Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

- A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to enormous energy.
