<u>Answer:</u> The edge length of the unit cell is 0.461 nm
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Atomic radius of iridium = 0.163 nm
To calculate the edge length, we use the relation between the radius and edge length for FCC lattice:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the edge length of the unit cell is 0.461 nm
The mass for of aluminum that is produced by the decomposition of 5.0 Kg Al2O3 is 2647 g or 2.647 Kg
calculation
Write the equation for decomposition of Al2O3
Al2O3 = 2Al + 3 O2
find the moles of Al2O3 = mass/molar mass
convert 5 Kg to g = 5 x1000 = 5000 grams
molar mass of Al2O3 = 27 x2 + 16 x3 = 102 g/mol
moles =5000 g/ 102 g/mol = 49.0196 moles
by use of mole ratio between Al2O3 to Al which is 1:2 the moles of Al = 49.0196 x2 =98.0392 moles
mass of Al = moles x molar mass
= 98.0392 moles x 27g/mol = 2647 grams or 2647/1000 = 2.647 Kg
Noble gases are supposed to be the least reactive elements so I’m assuming Neon would be the most least reactive out of all of them.
Answer:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
Explanation:
The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.
The two most important scales are:
- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).
- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.
The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

Therefore in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
