The edge length of the unit cell of KCl (NaCl-like structure, FCC) is 6.28 Å. Assuming anion-cation contact along the cell edge,

Mila [183]

Answer:

1.33 Å

Explanation:

Given that the edge length , a of the KCl which forms the FCC lattice = 6.28 Å

Also,

For the FCC lattice in which the anion-cation contact along the cell edge , the ratio of the radius of the cation to that of anion is 0.731.

Thus,

$\frac {r^+}{r^-}=0.731$ .................1

Also, the sum of the radius of the cation and the anion in FCC is equal to half of the edge length.

Thus,

$r^++r^-=\frac {a}{2}$ ...................2

Given that:

$Cl^-\ (r^-) = 1.82\ \dot{A}$

To find,

$K^+\ (r^+) = ? \dot{A}$

Using 1 and 2 , we get:

$1.731\ r^+=0.731\times \frac {6.28}{2}$

Size of the potassium ion = 1.33 Å

A mixture consists of 28% oxygen, 14% hydrogen, and 58% nitrogen by volume. A sample of this mixture has a pressure of 4.0 atm i

stepladder [879]

Answer:

C) 1.3 mol

Explanation:

Using gas law we can find the initial moles of the sample of the mixture, as follows:

PV = nRT

PV / RT = n

Where P is pressure: 4.0atm

V is volume: 9.6L

R is gas constant: 0.082atmL/molK

T is absolute temperature: 300K

And n are moles of the gas

PV / RT = n

4.0atm*9.6L / 0.082atmL/molK300K = n

n = 1.56moles of the mixture of the gas are present into the 9.6L container

Now, 14% of this gas is hydrogen that was removed of the system, that is:

1.56mol*14% = 0.22 moles of hydrogen are removed.

Thus, moles of gas that remains in the container are:

1.56mol - 0.22mol = 1.34mol.

Right answer is:

Explain the Properties of Ionic and covalent substances.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Ionic compounds: They have high melting points and boiling points. That is, ionic compounds are non-volatile.

Covalent compounds: They have usually low melting points and boiling points. That is, covalent compounds are usually volatile.
