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.

Which of the following explanations accounts for the fact that the ion-solvent interaction is greater for Li than for K
OLEGan [10]

Li+ has a smaller ionic radius than K+

and smaller molecules have more collisions/interactions between each other

<h3>What is ion-solvent interaction ?</h3>

In the case of ion-solvent interactions, the state in which the interac-tions exist is an obvious one; it is the situation in which ions are inside the solvent.

  • Ions are charged particles, and charges interact with other charges. So there will also be ion-ion, as well as ion-solvent, interactions in the solution.

  • In the process of solvation, ions are surrounded by a concentric shell of solvent. Solvation is the process of reorganizing solvent and solute molecules into solvation complexes.

How would exercising, sleeping well, eating healthy foods, and receiving recommended vaccines affect a person's immunity?
notsponge [240]
With the lack of these 3 factors you throw off your health triangle and your health is unbalanced. When you eat well you can get vitamins such as "E" and "C". These vitamins help build up immune cells that help build the immune system. When a person does not get enough sleep that person is more open to viruses and bacteria. Getting the recommended vaccines help you to fight off possible diseases or illnesses. They make you immune system stronger so you can be healthier.

The essential oil found in cloves, eugenol, can be isolated by steam distillation because it is insoluble in water and has a mea
Damm [24]
We know that:
Molar Mass H2O: 18 g/mol 
<span>Molar Mass of Eugenol: 164 g/mol </span>
<span>Boiling point of H2O: 100 degrees C </span>
<span>Boiling point of Eugenol: 254 degrees C </span>
<span>Density of water: 1.0 g/mL </span>
<span>Density of Eugenol: 1.05 g/mL </span>

<span>Using formula:
V= [mole fraction x molar mass] / density </span>

<span>mH20: 0.9947 * 18

          = 17.9046 </span>
<span>morg: 0.0053 * 164

<span>V% = Vorg/(Vorg + VH2O) * 100 </span>
<span>(0.8278/18.7324) * 100 = 4.419% </span>

<span>m eug = about 1.44g and </span>
<span>
volume = mass/density
            = 1.44/1.05
            = about 1.37 mL </span>
