Answer:

Cells make up the smallest level of a living organism such as yourself and other living things. The cellular level of an organism is where the metabolic processes occur that keep the organism alive. That is why the cell is called the fundamental unit of life.

Because it is the smallest living thing it contains the genetic material for survival

If the molecular weight of a semiconductor is 27.9 grams/mole and the diamond lattice constant is 0.503 nm, what is the density

adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass = 27.9 g/mol

As we know that according to Avogadro's number there are $6.023 \times 10^{26}$ atom present in 1 mole. Therefore, weight of 1 atom will be as follows.

1 atoms weight = $\frac{38}{6.023 \times 10^{26}}$

In a diamond cubic cell, the number of atoms are 8. So, n = 8 for diamond cubic cell.

Therefore, total weight of atoms in a unit cell will be as follows.

= $\frac{8 \times 27.9 g/mol}{6.023 \times 10^{26}}$

= $37.06 \times 10^{-26}$

Now, we will calculate the volume of a lattice with lattice constant 'a' (cubic diamond) as follows.

= $a^{3}$

= $(0.503 \times 10^{-9})^{3}$

= $0.127 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}$

Formula to calculate density of diamond cell is as follows.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

= $\frac{37.06 \times 10^{-26}}{0.127 \times 10^{-27} m^{3}}$

= 2918.1 $g/m^{3}$

or, = 0.0029 g/cc (as 1 $m^{3} = 10^{6} cm^{3}$ )

Thus, we can conclude that density of given semiconductor in grams/cc is 0.0029 g/cc.

CaHeK987 [17]

<span>Answer: W must be 5-chloro-2-methylpentane. It can give only 4-methy-1-pentene (Y) upon dehydrohalogenation: X must be 4-chloro-2-methylpentane. Dehydrohalogenation yields both Y and 4-methyl-2-pentene. (Z)</span>
