Given that the density of TlCl(s) is 7.00 g/cm3 and that the length of an edge of a unit cell is 385 pm, determine how many form

ula units of TlCl there are in a unit cell.

Here's my best guess
the volume of the unit cell is (385*10^-12)^3=5.7066*10^-29 m^3
multiply by density to get mass mass = (7 g/cm^3)*(100^3 cm^3 / 1^3 m^3) * 5.7066*10^-29 m^3= 3.99466*10^-22 g
covert to moles 3.99466*10^-22 g * 1 mol / 239.82 g = 1.6657 *10^-24 mol
convert to number of units

1.6657 *10^-24 mol * 6.23*10^23 units/mol = 1.04

385 pm = 3.85*10^(-8) cm

The volume of the unit cell is the cube of that, which is 5.71*10^(-23) cm^3. Since the ratio of mass to volume (i.e. the density) must be the same no matter what amount of TlCl you have, you can say:
7 = x/(5.71*10^(-23)), where x is the mass of the unit cell. Solving for x, you get 4*10^(-22) g.

The mass of a molecule of TlCl is 240 amu, which in grams is 4*10^(-22) g. The mass of the unit cell and the mass of a molecule of TlCl is the same. Therefore there is one formula unit of TlCl per unit cell.

What is the mass of bromine gas if it has a pressure of 720 mmHg, volume of 25mL and a temperature of 18.3 degrees Celsius
Annette [7]

Answer:

             Mass = 0.158 g

Explanation:

Formula used,

P V = n R T

Or,

n = P V / R T

Putting values,

n = 0.948 atm . 0.025 L / 0.0821 L.atm.K⁻¹.mol⁻¹ . 291.45

n = 0.00099 mol

Note: we have changed pressure from mmHg to atm, volume from mL to L and temperature from C to K)

Also,

Mass = n . Molecular Mass

Mass = 0.00099 mol × 159.808 g/mol

Mass = 0.158 g

In your own words, explain if you agree or disagree with this statement: "Nuclear energy is the cleanest
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

nuclear energy is the cleanest and safest energy source we have available and i agree with this statement for following reasons:

1.  Nuclear power is generated by a controlled chain reaction involving the splitting of atoms. A modern nuclear power plant uses the intense heat created by this reaction to heat water and create steam, which turns a turbine and generates electricity. Whereas a coal-fired plant heats water by burning coal, a nuclear plant heats it by splitting atoms. This process is called nuclear fission.

2. Nuclear fission, in simple terms, occurs when an atom splits in two, releasing a massive amount of energy and several subatomic particles called neutrons. These neutrons, in turn, hit and split other atoms, beginning and sustaining the chain reaction. Reactor operators control this reaction in a variety of ways and thus regulate the amount of heat generated and energy produced.

3. The raw fuel for this process is the metal uranium, which must be enriched before it can be used for producing energy in commercial reactors. Enrichment is necessary because mined uranium ore is around 99.3 percent uranium-238, which, in today’s commercial power plants, does not readily split upon exposure to neutrons from the fission chain reaction, and thus makes poor fuel. The other 0.7 percent of mined uranium is uranium-235, which makes excellent fuel. The number refers to the atomic mass, or the total mass of protons and neutrons that make up the atomic nucleus. This difference in mass of the same element makes them two different isotopes of uranium. The enrichment process consists essentially of increasing the percentage of uranium-235 by decreasing the percentage (via removal) of uranium-238.

A test tube contains a pure colourless gas. It is either oxygen,carbon dioxide,hydrogen or nitrogen. When a burning splint is pu
tekilochka [14]

The next test would be the lime water test.

Explanation:

If placing the gas in lime water will turn the solution milky, then the gas is most probably carbon dioxide, the lime water (Ca(OH)₂) turns milky due to the formation of solid CaCO₃ that is insoluble after reaction with carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide also puts out the flame in the splint test because it does not support combustion.
