define unit cell and explain why the unit cell will always crystallize from solution or break into the same shape

1 answer:

5 0

Answer:The structure of solids can be described as if they were three-dimensional analogs of a piece of wallpaper. Wallpaper has a regular repeating design that extends from one edge to the other. Crystals have a similar repeating design, but in this case the design extends in three dimensions from one edge of the solid to the other.

We can unambiguously describe a piece of wallpaper by specifying the size, shape, and contents of the simplest repeating unit in the design. We can describe a three-dimensional crystal by specifying the size, shape, and contents of the simplest repeating unit and the way these repeating units stack to form the crystal.

The simplest repeating unit in a crystal is called a unit cell. Each unit cell is defined in terms of lattice points--the points in space about which the particles are free to vibrate in a crystal.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The answer is "6.52 kg and 13.1 kg"

Explanation:

For point a:

$Actual\ yield = 6.52 \ kg\\\\Percent \ yield= 66\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical\ yield} \times 100 \%\\\\Theoretical\ yield \ of \ MnO_2 = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\=\frac{6.52 \ kg}{66 \%} \times 100\% =9.88 \ kg\\\\$

Equation:

$3MnCO_3 +O_2 \longrightarrow 2MnO_2 + 2CO_2\\\\$

Calculating the amount of $MnCO_3$

$= 9.88 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ MnO_2}{86.94 \ g} \times \frac{2 \ Mol \ MnCO_3}{2 \ mol \ MnO_2} \times \frac{114.95\ g}{1 \ mol \ MnCO_3 }\times \frac{1\ kg}{1000\ g}\\\\= 13.1 \ kg$

For point b:

$Actual\ yield = 4.0 \ kg\\\\Percent\ yield=97.0\%\\\\Percent \ yield = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Theoretical \ yield} \times 100 \% \\\\Theoretical \ yield\ of\ Mn = \frac{Actual \ yield}{Percent \ yield} \times 100\%\\\\$

$=\frac{4.0 \ kg}{97.0\%} \times 100\% =4.12 \ kg$

Equation:

$3MnO_2 +4AL \longrightarrow 3Mn + 2AL_2O_3\\\\$

Calculating the amount of $MnO_2:$

$= 4.12 \ kg \times \frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} \times \frac{1 \ mol \ Mn}{54.94 \ g} \times \frac{3 \ Mol \ MnO_2}{3 \ mol \ Mn} \times \frac{86.94 \ g}{1 \ mol \ MnO_2 }\\\\= 6516 \ g \\\\=6.52 \ kg\\\\$

Animal Reproduction Interactivity

Leviafan [203]

Step 1

Jellyfish do not give birth to their young because they expel undeveloped eggs in the form of zygote or embryo from their bodies and deposit them on the ocean floor before moving on. They don't even care about the eggs that have been laid.

Step 2

Jellyfish have two distinct body types during their lives: medusa and polyps. Polyps reproduce by budding while medusa reproduce as by spawning eggs and sperm.

Jellyfish can reproduce in the adult, or medusa, stage by releasing sperm and eggs into the water, forming a planula. Polyps clone themselves and bud, or strobilate, into ephyra, a different stage of jellyfish life. The adult medusa jellyfish develops from his form.

Only a few jellyfish species obtain sperm through their mouths in order to fertilise eggs within their bodies, but the majority of jellyfish simply release sperm or eggs into the water. They will do this once a day, normally at dawn or dusk, if conditions are favorable.

An atom of sodium-23 (Na-23) has a net charge of +1. Identify the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atom.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Explanation: Sodium has an atomic number of 11, so it has 11 protons. The atomic mass is 23, so there are 23 − 11 = 12 neutrons. The charge is +1, so there is 1 more proton than electrons, so there are 10 electrons
