Answer:

There are 8Si atoms and 16 O atoms per unit cell

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Edge length l=0.700nm=>0.7*10^9nm

Density \rho=2.32g/cm^3

Generally the equation for Volume is mathematically given by

V=l^3

V=(0.7*10^9)m^3

V=3,43*10^-{22}cm

Where

Molar mass of  (SiO2) for one formula unit

M=28+32

M=60g/mol

Therefore

Density of Si per unit length is

\rho_{si}=\frac{9.96*10^{23}}{3.43*10^22}

\rho=0.29

Molar mass of  (SiO2) for one formula unit

M=28+32

M=60g/mol

Therefore

There are 8Si atoms and 16 O atoms per unit cell

a compound has a percent compostion of carbon equal to 48.8383%, hydrogen equal to 8.1636%, and oxygen equal to 43.1981%. what i
Margarita [4]

Answer:

C₂H₃O

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Carbon (C) = 48.8383%

Hydrogen (H) = 8.1636%

Oxygen (O) = 43.1981%

Empirical formula =?

The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

C = 48.8383%

H = 8.1636%

O = 43.1981%

Divide by their molar mass

C = 48.8383 / 12 = 4.07

H = 8.1636 / 1 = 8.1636

O = 43.1981 / 16 = 2.7

Divide by the smallest

C = 4.07 / 2.7 = 2

H = 8.1636 / 2.7 = 3

O = 2.7 /2.7 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₂H₃O
