Answer:

CuSO₄(aq) + 2 KF(aq) = CuF₂ + K₂SO₄

Explanation:

<em>The question is missing but I think it must be about writing and balancing the equation.</em>

Let's consider the unbalanced equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous copper (II) sulfate reacts with aqueous potassium fluoride to produce a precipitate of copper (II) fluoride (<em>I fixed a mistake here</em>) and aqueous potassium sulfate. This is a double displacement reaction.

CuSO₄(aq) + KF(aq) = CuF₂ + K₂SO₄

Since only K and F atoms are not balanced, we will get the balanced equation by multiplying KF by 2.

CuSO₄(aq) + 2 KF(aq) = CuF₂ + K₂SO₄

Sort the following chemicals for their ability to act as an oxidizer. List from strongest to weakest; 1 being strongest, 6 being

spin [16.1K]

Answer : If we list the given chemicals according to their increasing oxidising ability then the order will be like this; 1 being the strongest and 6 being the weakest
1. K > 2. Ca >3. Ni> 4. Cu> 5. Ag> 6.Au

Explanation : Considering the reduction potential of each chemical species it will be easy to identify their oxidising capacity and differentiate accordingly;

More negative the value of reduction potential more is the ability of the chemical species to get oxidised.

Chemicals with their reduction potential is given below.

K has -2.92; Ca has -2.76; Ni has -0.23; Cu has 0.52; Ag has 1.50 and Au has 1.50.

(a) Compute the radius r of an impurity atom that will just fit into an FCC octahedral site in terms of the atomic radius R of t

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The radius of an impurity atom occupying FCC octahedral site is $0.414{\rm{R}}$

The radius of an impurity atom occupying FCC tetrahedral site is $0.225{\rm{R}}$ .

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding of the solution we need to understand that the concept used to solve this question is based on the voids present in a unit cell. Looking at the fundamentals

An impurity atom in a unit cell occupies the void spaces. In FCC type of structure, there are two types of voids present. First, an octahedral void is a hole created when six spheres touch each other usually placed at the body center. On the other hand, a tetrahedral void is generated when four spheres touch each other and is placed along the body diagonal.

Step 1 of 2

(1)

The position of an atom that fits in the octahedral site with radius $\left( r \right)$ is as shown in the first uploaded image.

In the above diagram, R is the radius of atom and a is the edge length of the unit cell.

The radius of the impurity is as follows:

$2r=a-2R------(A)$

The relation between radius of atom and edge length is calculated using Pythagoras Theorem is shown as follows:

Consider $\Delta {\rm{XYZ}}$ as follows:

$(XY)^ 2 =(YZ) ^2 +(XZ)^2$

Substitute $XY$ as ${\rm{R}} + 2{\rm{R + R}}$ and ${\rm{YZ}}$ as a and ${\rm{ZX}}$ as a in above equation as follows:

$(R+2R+R) ^2 =a ^2 +a^ 2\\16R ^2 =2a^ 2\\ a =2\sqrt{2R}$

Substitute value of aa in equation (A) as follows:

$r= \frac{2\sqrt{2}R -2R }{2} \\ =\sqrt{2} -1R\\ = 0.414R$

The radius of an impurity atom occupying FCC octahedral site is $0.414{\rm{R}}$

Note

An impure atom occupies the octahedral site, the relation between the radius of atom, edge length of unit cell and impure atom is calculated. The relation between the edge length and radius of atom is calculated using Pythagoras Theorem. This further enables in finding the radius of an impure atom.

Step 2 of 2

(2)

The impure atom in FCC tetrahedral site is present at the body diagonal.

The position of an atom that fits in the octahedral site with radius rr is shown on the second uploaded image :

In the above diagram, R is the radius of atom and a is the edge length of the unit cell.

The body diagonal is represented by AD.

The relation between the radius of impurity, radius of atom and body diagonal is shown as follows:

$AD=2R+2r----(B)$

In $\Delta {\rm{ABC}},$

$(AB) ^2 =(AC) ^2 +(BC) ^2$

For calculation of AD, AB is determined using Pythagoras theorem.

Substitute ${\rm{AC}}$ as a and ${\rm{BC}}$ as a in above equation as follows:

$(AB) ^2 =a ^2 +a ^2$

$AB= \sqrt{2a} ----(1)$

Also,

$AB=2R$

Substitute value of $2{\rm{R}}$ for ${\rm{AB}}$ in equation (1) as follows:

$2R= \sqrt{2} aa = \sqrt{2} R$

Therefore, the length of body diagonal is calculated using Pythagoras Theorem in $\Delta {\rm{ABD}}$ as follows:

$(AD) ^2 =(AB) ^2 +(BD)^2$

Substitute ${\rm{AB}}$ as $\sqrt 2$ a and ${\rm{BD}}$ as a in above equation as follows:

$(AD) ^2 =( \sqrt 2a) ^2 +(a) ^2 AD= \sqrt3a$

For calculation of radius of an impure atom in FCC tetrahedral site,

Substitute value of AD in equation (B) as follows:

$\sqrt 3a=2R+2r$

Substitute a as $\sqrt 2$ ${\rm{R}}$ in above equation as follows:

$( \sqrt3 )( \sqrt2 )R=2R+2r\\\\$

$r = \frac{2.4494R-2R}{2}\\$

$=0.2247R$

$\approx 0.225R$

The radius of an impurity atom occupying FCC tetrahedral site is $0.225{\rm{R}}$ .

Note

An impure atom occupies the tetrahedral site, the relation between the radius of atom, edge length of unit cell and impure atom is calculated. The length of body diagonal is calculated using Pythagoras Theorem. The body diagonal is equal to the sum of the radii of two atoms. This helps in determining the relation between the radius of impure atom and radius of atom present in the unit cell.
