Whenever objects are placed in a line with spaced in between them, the number of spaces is one less than the number of objects. For reference, you may hold up four fingers and count the spaced between your fingers.

Therefore, if there are 105 molecules, then there are 104 spaces present.

We also know that 1 mm = 1000 nm. So, we first convert the spacing to millimeters as the final answer is required in millimeters

spacing = 10.59/1000 = 0.01059 mm

Now, the width of the lattice will be (ignoring the size of the molecules):

104 * 0.01059

1.10 millimeters

why are isotopes that have relatively short half lives the only ones used in medical diagnostic tests
Anettt [7]
 Hence, it is less preferrable to choose an isotope to enter your body, which will emit radioactivity for a long time, so we tend to choose isotopes, the radioactivity of which ceases quickly, so that the least possible amount of damage is caused to the cells

Why is water essential to living things? (1 pc
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Living organisms need water to survive. Many scientists even believe that if any extra-terrestrial exists, water must be present in their environments. All oxygen-dependent organisms need water to aid in the respiration process. Some organisms, such as fish, can only breathe in water. Other organisms require water to break down food molecules or generate energy during the respiration process. Water also helps many organisms regulate metabolism and dissolves compounds going into or out of the body.

What is the easiest way for atoms without a full valence shell to gain a full valence shell?
sergey [27]

Most atoms do not. For those atoms that do not have a full valence shell (which usually would contain eight electrons, except for hydrogen and helium, where it would contain two), something has to change. So nature's tendency toward a full valence shell will lead to one of two things: The gain or loss of electrons.

Which of the following chemical reactions is an oxidation-reduction reaction? CuSO4 + BaCl2 yields BaSO4 + CuCl2 Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaC
Ratling [72]
The answer is N2 + 3H2 yields 2NH3. The oxidation-reduction reaction means that there is electrons transfer during the reaction which means that the valence changed.

If an experiment calls for 0.200mole acetic acid (Hc2H3O2)how many grams of glacial acetic acid do we need?
bija089 [108]
<h3>Molar mass:-</h3>

\\ \sf\longmapsto HC_2H_3O_2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1u+2(12u)+3(1u)+2(16u)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1u+24u+3u+48u

\\ \sf\longmapsto 28u+48u

\\ \sf\longmapsto 76u

\\ \sf\longmapsto 76g/mol

  • No of moles=0.2mol
  • Given mass=?

\\ \sf\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{Given\:Mass}{Molar\:Mass}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.2=\dfrac{Given\:mass}{76}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Given\:Mass=0.2\times 76

\\ \sf\longmapsto Given\:Mass=1.52g
