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

Chemistry

boyakko [2]2 years ago

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.

A piece of iron (C=0.449 J/g°C) and a piece of gold (C=0.128 J/g°C) have identical masses. If the iron has an initial temperatur
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Since the two metals have the same mass, but the specific heat capacity of iron is much greater than that of gold, the final temperature of the two metals will be closer to 498 K than to 298 K

Explanation:

Iron is hotter and gold is colder, therefore, according to laws of thermodynamics, iron will lose heat to gold until they are at the same temperature.

The specific heat capacity of iron(0.449) is over three times that of gold(0.128). Since masses are equal, this means that each time iron's temperature drops by one degree, the energy released it releases makes gold's temperature increase by more than 3 degrees. So gold's temperature will be climbing much faster than iron's is falling. Meaning they will meet closer to the initial temperature of iron than that of gold

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? (Not sure if this is chemistry or not lol)
Leni [432]

Answer:

When white glue is in the bottle, there's not enough air inside the bottle to cause the water to evaporate to make the glue sticky. Basically, the bottle holds the glue from the air and keeps the glue from going everywhere.
