Answer:

A reactive metal has the ability to easily lose an electron and acquire a positive charge. Sodium easily loses electrons and acquires a positive charge. Sodium easily lose electrons than magnesium and get oxidized to easily.

Calculate the unit cell edge length for an 85 wt% fe-15 wt% v alloy. All of the vanadium is in solid solution, and, at room temp

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer is 0.289nm.

Explanation: The wt % of Fe and wt % of V is given for a Fe-V alloy.

wt % of Fe in Fe-V alloy = 85%

wt % of V in Fe-V alloy = 15%

We need to calculate edge length of the unit cell having bcc structure.

Using density formula,

$\rho_{ave}=\frac{Z\times M_{ave}}{a^3\times N_A}$

For calculating edge length,

$a=(\frac{Z\times M_{ave}}{\rho_{ave}\times N_A})^{1/3}$

For calculating $M_{ave}$ , we use the formula

$M_{ave}= \frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{V}}{M_V}}$

Similarly for calculating $(\rho)_{ave}$ , we use the formula

$\rho_{ave}= \frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{\rho_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{V}}{\rho_V}}$

From the periodic table, masses of the two elements can be written

$M_{Fe}= 55.85g/mol$

$M_{V}=50.941g/mol$

Specific density of both the elements are

$(\rho)_{Fe}=7.874g/cm^3\\(\rho)_{V}=6.10g/cm^3$

Putting $M_{ave}$ and $\rho_{ave}$ formula's in edge length formula, we get

$a=\left [\frac{Z\left (\frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}+\frac{(wt\%)_{Fe}}{M_{Fe}}} \right )}{N_A\left (\frac{100}{\frac{(wt\%)_V}{\rho_V}+\frac{(wt\%)_V}{\rho_V}} \right )} \right ]^{1/3}$

$a=\left [\frac{2atoms/\text{unit cell}\left (\frac{100}{\frac{85\%}{55.85g/mol}+\frac{15\%}{50.941g/mol}} \right )}{(6.023\times10^{23}atoms/mol)\left (\frac{100}{\frac{85\%}{7.874g/cm^3}+\frac{15\%}{6.10g/cm^3}} \right )} \right ]^{1/3}$

By calculating, we get

$a=2.89\times10^{-8}cm=0.289nm$

What is the difference between the atomic number and the mass number of an element?

DedPeter [7]

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes

hope this helps :)
