Answer:

Why is the unit of force called a derived unit? That's because the Newton is defined in terms of other units which are more fundamental. One Newton is the force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogramme at the rate of one metre per second squared.

Molybdenum (Mo) has a body centered cubic unit cell. The density of Mo is 10.28 g/cm3. Determine (a) the edge length of the unit

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

For a: The edge length of the unit cell is 314 pm

For b: The radius of the molybdenum atom is 135.9 pm

Explanation:

For a:

To calculate the edge length for given density of metal, we use the equation:

$\rho=\frac{Z\times M}{N_{A}\times a^{3}}$

where,

$\rho$ = density = $10.28g/cm^3$

Z = number of atom in unit cell = 2 (BCC)

M = atomic mass of metal (molybdenum) = 95.94 g/mol

$N_{A}$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}$

a = edge length of unit cell =?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$10.28=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times (a)^3}\\\\a^3=\frac{2\times 95.94}{6.022\times 10^{23}\times 10.28}=3.099\times 10^{-23}\\\\a=\sqrt[3]{3.099\times 10^{-23}}=3.14\times 10^{-8}cm=314pm$
