Answer:

Elemental gold to have a Face-centered cubic structure.

Explanation:

From the information given:

Radius of gold = 144 pm

Its density = 19.32 g/cm³

Assuming the structure is a face-centered cubic structure, we can determine the density of the crystal by using the following:

a = \sqrt{8} r

a = \sqrt{8} \times 144 pm

a = 407 pm

In a unit cell, Volume (V) = a³

V = (407 pm)³

V = 6.74 × 10⁷ pm³

V = 6.74 × 10⁻²³ cm³

Recall that:

Net no. of an atom in an FCC unit cell = 4

Thus;

density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

density = \dfrac{ 4 \ atm ( 196.97 \ g/mol) (\dfrac{1 \ mol }{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms})}{6.74 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3}

density d = 19.41 g/cm³

Similarly; For a  body-centered cubic structure

r = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a

where;

r = 144

144 = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a

a = \dfrac{144 \times 4}{\sqrt{3}}

a = 332.56 pm

In a unit cell, Volume V = a³

V = (332.56 pm)³

V = 3.68 × 10⁷ pm³

V  3.68 × 10⁻²³   cm³

Recall that:

Net no. of atoms in BCC cell = 2

∴

density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

density = \dfrac{ 2 \ atm ( 196.97 \ g/mol) (\dfrac{1 \ mol }{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms})}{3.68 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3}

density =17.78 g/cm³

From the two calculate densities, we will realize that the density in the face-centered cubic structure is closer to the given density.

This makes the elemental gold to have a Face-centered cubic structure.

The Balance Chemical Equation is as follow,

                                  2 HCl + Pb(NO₃)₂     →    2 HNO₃ + PbCl₂

According to equation,

          331.2 g (1 mole) Pb(NO₃)₂ produces  =  278.1 g (1 mole) PbCl₂

So,

                 870 g of Pb(NO₃)₂ will produce  =  X g of PbCl₂

Solving for X,

                     X  =  (870 g × 278.1 g) ÷ 331.2 g

                     X  =  730.5 g of PbCl₂

Therefore,

               Theoretical Yield =  730.5 g

Also as given,

                Actual Yield =  650 g

So using following formula for percentage yield,

                        %age Yield  =  (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) × 100

Putting values,

                        %age Yield  =  (650 g / 730.5 g) × 100

                        %age Yield  =  88.98 %

how many mL of a 3.5 M sodium hydroxide will be needed to neutralize 15mL of a 4.3 M hydrochloric acid solution?
kobusy [5.1K]
Step 1 : write a valanced equation..
NaOH + HCl 》NaCl + H2O

Step 2 : find the number of mole of HCl..
1000 ml ..contains 4.3 mole
15ml... (4.3÷1000)×15 =...

Stem 3 : use mole ratio....
HCl : NaOH
1 : 1
So mole is same as calculated above...

Step 4 :
3.5 mole of NaOH is in 1000ml
(4.3÷1000)×15 mole is in ....

Explain how impurities are selected for doping in group 14 semiconductors
aleksklad [387]

Impurities selection for doping in group 14 semiconductors is: based on their ability to add more holes and fewer electrons or to add more electrons and reduce the holes.

<h3>Meaning of Semiconductors</h3>

Semiconductors can be defined as any material that has the ability to exhibit some properties of a conductor and some properties of an insulator.

A semiconductor can be used as either a conductor or an insulator when worked upon.

In conclusion, Impurities selection for doping in group 14 semiconductors is: based on their ability to add more holes and fewer electrons or to add more electrons and reduce the holes.
