In the question, the number of atoms per unit cell is required for:
A) Polonium (Po)
In polonium, the structure is simple cubic, meaning there are 8 corner atoms, which add up to one atom per unit cell.
B) Manganese (Mn)
The structure of the Mn can be considered to be a body centered cubic (BCC) and the number of atoms for this is 8 corner atoms and 1 central atoms, making a total of 2 atoms per unit cell.
C) Silver (Ag)
Silver has a face centered cubic (FCC) unit cell structure, where there are 8 corner atoms and 6 atoms on the faces, so there are a total of 4 atoms per unit cell.
Answer:
2HNO3 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) → 2NaNO3 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
Explanation:
This question is asking to write and balance an equation between between aqueous sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and aqueous nitric acid (HNO3). The equation is as follows:
HNO3 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) → NaNO3 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
However, this equation is not balanced as the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the equation. To balance the equation, one will make use of coefficients as follows:
2HNO3 (aq) + Na2CO3 (aq) → 2NaNO3 (aq) + CO2 (g) + H2O (l)
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.
<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.
Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>
