Describe the process used to measure out a specific mass of a solid

1 answer:

7 0

Although the process varies slightly from one material to another, the general process is as follows:

1) Choose an appropriate container for the solid. This may be a petri dish or a beaker in which you want to prepare the solution of the solid or any other lab equipment.

2) Place the container on a mass balance, then turn the balance on. The mass balance will automatically zero-out the mass of the container, so that any mass that you add on the container will be the mass of the solid. Alternatively, you may first measure the mass of the empty container alone.

3) Add the solid using a lab spatula. The solid should be added more slowly when the reading on the scale comes close to the desired value.

4) Remove the container from the mass balance after the desired amount of solid has been added.

Explanation:

Pioneer plants are to plants species that appear first in virgin land – such an after a volcanic eruption. They are mainly lower plants such as lichen, fungi, and noses. These species can grow on rocks and break them down over time to form soil. This is due to the fact that the plants have very shallow roots that can even grow in the small crevices of rocks and can draw water from the atmosphere – moisture. This releases the nutrients in the rocks and makes them available to higher plants that have deeper roots. The ecology of the region will ultimately be succeeded by a climax community over time, mainly dominated by tree species.

Molybdenum (Mo) has a body centered cubic unit cell. The density of Mo is 10.28 g/cm3. Determine (a) the edge length of the unit

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

For a: The edge length of the unit cell is 314 pm

For b: The radius of the molybdenum atom is 135.9 pm

Explanation:

For a:

To calculate the edge length for given density of metal, we use the equation:

$\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}$

where,

$\rho$ = density = $10.28g/cm^3$

Z = number of atom in unit cell = 2 (BCC)

M = atomic mass of metal (molybdenum) = 95.94 g/mol

$N_{A}$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}$

a = edge length of unit cell =?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10.28=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times (a)^3}\\\\a^3=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times 10.28}=3.099\times 10^{-23}\\\\a=\sqrt[3]{3.099\times 10^{-23}}=3.14\times 10^{-8}cm=314pm$

Conversion factor used: $1cm=10^{10}pm$

Hence, the edge length of the unit cell is 314 pm

For b:

To calculate the edge length, we use the relation between the radius and edge length for BCC lattice:

$R=\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{4}$

where,

R = radius of the lattice = ?

a = edge length = 314 pm

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$R=\frac{\sqrt{3}\times 314}{4}=135.9pm$

Hence, the radius of the molybdenum atom is 135.9 pm

What is wave particle duality

yKpoI14uk [10]

Wave particle duality is the concept in quantum mechanics that every particle or quantum entity may be described as either a particle or a wave. It expresses the inability of the classical concepts "particle" or "wave" to fully describe the behaviour of quantum-scale objects.
