Lead crystallizes in a face-centered cubic structure with a density of 11.34 g/cm3. Polonium crystallizes in a simple cubic stru

cture with a density of 9.3 g/cm3. Explain why lead has a greater density than polonium even though polonium atoms are heavier, and smaller than lead atoms.

Answer:

Explanation:

In a face-centered cubic structure, each unit cell has 4 atoms. Each of the 8 corner atoms contribute 1/8 part to the unit cell and each of the 6 atoms at face-centres contribute 1/2 part to the unit cell. So, each unit cell has net 4 atoms.

In a simple cubic structure, there are 8 atoms, one at each corner. So, each one of them contribute 1/8 part to the unit cell. So, the unit cell has only 1 atom effectively.

Hence, each cell units of lead has 4 times as atoms as in the unit cells of polonium.

Due to this, density of lead is higher despite the fact that it's atomic mass is smaller and the size is bigger than that of a polonium atom.

Answer:

The face-centered cubic structure is characterized in that there are four atoms in each unit cell. Each atom located in a corner corresponds one eighth of the unit cell and the atoms located in the center correspond a medium of the unit cell. This results in that in each unit cell it has four atoms.

On the other hand, in the simple cubic structure there are eight atoms, located at each corner. Each of these atoms contributes one eighth of the unit cell. Therefore, in each unit cell there is only one atom.

In each cell of the element lead contains four times more atoms than in the cell of polonium. This means that lead is much denser and larger than the element polonium.

Why is frying an egg an example of a chemical change
skelet666 [1.2K]
A Chemical change is any form of chemical reaction changing the state of the matter involved. When you fry an egg, you are making a reaction between the heat and the chemicals that make up the egg. Therefore once you have fried that egg, you have completed a chemical reaction. This is why it's a chemical change when you fry an egg.

If you mixed three Dixie cups’ contents together containing 0.05L of 1.0M lemonade, 0.05L of 2.5M lemonade, and 0.05L of 0.5M le
viva [34]

Molarity of the resulting solution will be 1.33 M.

<u>Explanation:</u>

First we have to find the number of moles for each of the solution using the formula, moles = molarity × volume

For cup 1  = 1  M ×0.05 L = 0.05 moles

For cup 2 = 2.5 M × 0.05 L= 0.125 moles

For cup 3 = 0.5 M × 0.05 L = 0.025 moles

Total moles = 0.05 + 0.125 + 0.025  = 0.2 moles

We have to find the total volume as, 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 0.15 L

Now we have to find the molarity as, moles / volume = 0.2 moles/ 0.15 L = 1.33 M
