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

How many grams of lithium hypochlorite (LiClO) are there in 0.594 moles?
Flauer [41]

Answer : The mass of lithium hypochlorite are, 34.7 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of LiClO = 0.594 g

Molar mass of LiClO = 58.4 g/mol

Expression used :

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=\text{ Moles of }LiClO\times \text{ Molar mass of }LiClO

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=(0.594moles)\times (58.4g/mole)

\text{ Mass of }LiClO=34.7g

Therefore, the mass of lithium hypochlorite are, 34.7 grams.

What does the lines making a circle around the high-pressure area indicate? A. An occluded front B. Areas of equal altitude C. A
levacccp [35]

The answer is; C

These lines that join areas of equal pressure during an air system are called isobars. The black lines in the diagram below are the isobars. They are good indicators of the strength of these systems. The innermost closed lines indicate the positions of relative maxima (high-pressure areas) and minima (low-pressure areas) in the pressure field.
