First find the volume of the cubic lattice given edge length of 646 pm or 6.46x10^-8 cm.

volume = (6.46x10^-8 cm)^3

volume = 2.7x10^-22 cm^3

 

The total mass of the lattice is:

mass = (5.850 g/cm^3) * 2.7x10^-22 cm^3

mass = 1.577x10^-21 grams

 

The molar mass of tin is 118.71 g/mol and the Avogadros number is 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol, hence:

 

Sn atoms = [1.577x10^-21 g / (118.71 g/mol)] * 6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol

Sn atoms = 8 atoms

seraphim [82]

Explanation :

In thermodynamics, a system is region or part of space which is being studied and observed while the surrounding is the region or space around the system which interacts with the system.

Here in the experiment ,system which is observed is reaction or changes when citric acid and sodium bicarbonate are mixed together. And the mixing is carried out in the calorimeter which serves as a surrounding around the system.

The reason behind the using the calorimeter is measure the energy change occurring during the reaction.

Predict the geometry around the central atom in SO2- A) trigonal pyramidal B) tetrahedral C) octahedral D) trigonal planar E) tr
liubo4ka [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the hybridization of SO_2, we use the equation:

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom  (S) = 6

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom  = 0

C = charge of cation  = 0

A = charge of anion = 0

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[6]=3

The number of electron pair around the central metal atom are 3. This means that the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

Student perfotms a Benedict's test on an unknown substance. He adds reagent(the chemical required to make a color change), and n
elixir [45]

Answer:

Reducing sugars are absent

Explanation:

Benedict's solution is an substance used in testing sugars. It is mixture of sodium carbonate, sodium citrate and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. It can be used instead of Fehling's solution in testing for the presence of reducing sugars.

Reducing sugars contain the -CHO group. If there is no colour change after the addition of Benedict's solution, then we can conclude that reducing sugars are absent.
