Answer:

True

Explanation:

The unit cell is the smallest group of atoms which has the overall symmetry of a crystal, and from which the entire lattice can be built up by repetition in three dimensions (Oxford dictionary).

The number of atoms in a unit cell of a crystal structure must be equal to or a multiple of the number of atoms in the empirical formula of the compound. In other words, the unit cell should contain the formula unit of the compound.

A gas sample is found to contain 39.10% carbon, 7.67% hydrogen, 26.11% oxygen, 16.82% phosphorus, and 10.30% fluorine. If the mo
Doss [256]

Answer:

C6H14O3F

Explanation:

The first step is to divide each compound by its molecular weight

Carbon

= 39.10/12

= 3.258

Hydrogen

= 7.67/1

= 7.67

Oxygen

= 26.11/16

= 1.63

Phosphorous

= 16.82/31

= 0.542

Flourine

= 10.30/19

= 0.542

The next step is to divide by the lowes value

3.258/0.542

= 6 mol of C

7.67/0.542

= 14 mol of H

1.63/0.542

= 3 mol of O

0.542/0.542

= 1 mol of P

0.542/0.542

= 1 mol of F

Hence the molecular formula is C6H14O3F

What is the basic definition of carbohydrates
ikadub [295]

Carbohydrates are substances that are found in foods such as bread and pasta, which provide the body with heat and energy. Chemically, carbohydrates are made of three kinds of elements namely carbon , hydrogen and oxygen.

Carbohydrates are separated into two main categories, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.  

Simple carbohydrates are those that contain one or two sugar molecules linked together. Complex carbohydrates are those that contain  three or more sugar molecules linked together. In some cases these chains can contain hundreds of sugar molecules.

How many atoms are in 13.97 liters of water vapor at STP
Arisa [49]
<span>Let's </span>assume that water vapor has ideal gas behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>

</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa (standard pressure)
V = 13.97 L = 13.97 x 10</span>⁻³ m³<span>
n = ?
R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 0 °C = 273 K (standard temperature)
<span>
By substitution,
</span>101325 Pa x 13.97x 10</span>⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 273 K<span>
                                          n = 0.624 mol
<span>
Hence, the moles of water vapor at STP is 0.624 mol.

According to the </span></span>Avogadro's constant, 1 mole of substance has 6.022 × 10²³ particles.
<span>
Hence, number of atoms in water vapor = 0.624 mol x </span>6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹
<span>                                                                = 3.758 x 10</span>²³<span>

Rank the following elements in order of decreasing atomic radius (1 is biggest, 5 is smallest)
AlexFokin [52]

There are various kind of elements that are present in periodic table. Some elements are harmful, some are radioactive, some are noble gases. The atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

<h3>What is periodic table?</h3>

Periodic table is a table in which we find elements with properties like metals, non metals, metalloids and radioactive element arranges in increasing atomic number.

Along the period, the size of elements decreases. Down the group the size of elements increases. The atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

Therefore, atomic radius in decreasing order is Bi>Sb>As>N>O.

After mitosis, you have 2 cells that are the same as the parent cell. Why is it that your first cell was not the same as your pa
ladessa [460]

Answer:

During MITOSIS, the parent, diploid (2n), cell is divided to create two identical, diploid (2n), daughter cells. ... After cytokinesis, the ploidy of the daughter cells remains the same because each daughter cell contains 4 chromatids, as the parent cell did.
