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.

Calculate AH for the reaction:<br> 2N2 (g) + 6H20 (g) → 302 (g) + 4NH3(g)
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

4NH₃ (g) + 3O₂ (g) ⇒ 2N₂ (g) + 6H₂ O(1)

ΔH_r={\sum}{ \Delta }H_f(\text{product})-{\sum}{ \Delta }H_f(\text{reactant})

ΔH r =(2ΔH f(N 2 )+6ΔH f (H 2 O(l)))−(4ΔH f​ (NH 3 (g))+3ΔH f (O 2 (g)))

ΔH rex =[2×0+6×(−286)]−[4×(−46)+3×0]=−1716+186

ΔH rex =−1532kJ/mol

Thermodynamics is a branch of physical chemistry that studies heat and its effects and interactions. Governed by the four main laws, thermodynamics plays a huge role in physics and chemistry, and is also responsible for the law of conservation of energy, a fundamental rule in science.

Write down examples of some natural acids and natural bases. Also write use of them.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Formic acid, citric acid, Oxalic acid, washing soda, baking soda, etc. can be some examples of natural acids and natural bases. They both have domestic, industrial, and various other purposes.

Explanation:

<h3><u>NATURAL ACIDS</u>:</h3>

There are lots of natural acids present in our nature. Some of them are the following:

> <u>Formic acid</u>

 USE: It is used in the stimulation of oil and gas wells as it is less reactive towards the metal.

> <u>Citric acid</u>

 USE: It is considered as the best rust remover as it doesn't harm the metal just remove the rust.

> <u>Oxalic acid</u>

USE: It easily remove iron and ink stains and that's why it is used as an acid rinsing material in Laundries.

<h3><u>NATURAL BASES</u>:</h3>

There is a variety of natural base found in our nature which founds a lot of uses in day to day life. some of them are the following:

> <u>Washing soda</u>

USE: It is used in commercial detergent mixture to treat hard water.

> <u>Baking soda</u>

USE: It is the best rising agent used mostly in cooking and for domestic purposes like removing stains, etc..

Two sealed, rigid 5.0L containers each contain a gas at the same temperature but at a different pressure, as shown above. Also s
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The question with options are

Two sealed, rigid 5.0L containers each contain a gas at the same temperature but at a different pressure, as shown above. Also shown are the results of transferring the entire contents of container 1 to container 2. No gases escape during the transfer. Assuming ideal behavior, which statement is correct regarding the total pressure of the gases after they are combined?

A) The total pressure of the gases in the mixture is the sum of the initial pressures of oxygen gas and nitrogen gas because pressure only depends on the total amount of gas when volume and temperature are held constant.

B) The total pressure of the gases in the mixture is lower than the sum of the initial pressures of oxygen and nitrogen because some of the energy of the particles will be lost due to an increase in the number of collisions.

C) The total pressure of the gases in the mixture is higher than the sum of the initial pressures of oxygen and nitrogen because of the inter molecular forces that develop between oxygen and nitrogen molecules.

D) The total pressure of the gases in the mixture cannot be determined because the actual value of the temperature is not given.

The correct answer to the question is (A), a representation of Dalton's Law of Partial pressure

A) The total pressure of the gases in the mixture is the sum of the initial pressures of oxygen gas and nitrogen gas because pressure only depends on the total amount of gas when volume and temperature are held constant.

Explanation:

The above solution can be explained by Dalton's law of partial pressures  which states that at constant temperature and pressure, the pressure of a given mass gas is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases that make up the mixture :

P_{Total}​ = P_{gas in container 1} + P_{gas in container 2}

The partial pressure of a gas is the pressure exerted by the gas if the gas is the only constituent of the container

Dalton's Law is used to

Calculate the gas partial pressure given the mole ratio and total pressure

Determine the number of moles of a gas present in a mixture given the partial pressure and total pressure

Calculate the pressure exerted by a mixture of gases given the partial pressures of the individual gases at constant temperature and pressure
