Answer:

Density of unit cell ( rhodium) = 12.279 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius (r) of a rhodium atom = 135 pm

The atomic mass of rhodium = 102.90 amu

For a face-centered cubic unit cell,

r = \dfrac{a}{2\sqrt{2}}

where;

a = edge length.

Making "a" the subject of the formula:

a = 2 \sqrt{2} \times r

a = 2 \times 1.414 \times 135 \ pm

a = 381.8 pm

to cm, we get:

a = 381.8 × 10⁻¹⁰ cm

However, recall that:

density \ of \ unit \ cell = \dfrac{mass \ of \ unit \ cell}{volume \ of \unit \ cell}

where;

mass of unit cell = mass of atom × numbers of atoms per unit cell

Also;

mass\  of\ atom =\dfrac{ atomic \ mass}{Avogadro  \  number}

mass\  of\ atom =\dfrac{ 102.9}{6.023 \times 10^{23}}

Recall also that number of atoms in a unit cell for a  face-centered cubic = 4

So;

mass \ of \ unit \ cell= \dfrac{102.90}{6.023 \times 10^{23}}\times 4

mass of unit cell = 6.83380375 × 10⁻²² g

Density  \ of  \ unit \  cell = \dfrac{6.83380375 \times 10^{-22}}{(381.8\times 10^{-10})^3}

Density of unit cell ( rhodium) = 12.279 g/cm³

I mean this is pretty obvious it's D. life expectancy is sort of close but not really. B is close too but it's not it bc that's not what health is. you could be over weight and not be sick and it still isn't healthy. and C isn't close at all. hope this helps, have an amazing day :)

Arrange the liquids pentane (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3), pentanol (CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH), and pentanal (CH3CH2CH2CH2CHO) in order of decreasi
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

These properties are governed by intermolecular forces. The most important part here is the oxygen interaction with the surroundings. For temperature the decreasing order is pentanol, pentanal and pentane. For viscocity: pentanol, pentanal and pentane. For surface tension: pentanol, pentanal and pentane.

This order, as said before, is due to the interaction of oxygen with the surroundings, within the intermolecular forces we can find van der waals forces and hydrogen bonds, it is also know that H-bonds are stronger than van der waals forces so then that is why we have this type of interactions.
