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.

The normal freezing point of a certain liquid
stepladder [879]

Answer : The molal freezing point depression constant of X is 4.12^oC/m

Explanation :  Given,

Mass of urea (solute) = 5.90 g

Mass of X liquid (solvent) = 450.0 g

Molar mass of urea = 60 g/mole

Formula used :  

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T^o-T_s=i\times K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of urea}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of urea}\times \text{Mass of X liquid}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point

\Delta T_s = freezing point of solution = -0.5^oC

\Delta T^o = freezing point of liquid X= 0.4^oC

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1  (for non-electrolyte)

K_f = molal freezing point depression constant of X = ?

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

[0.4-(-0.5)]^oC=1\times k_f\times \frac{5.90g\times 1000}{60g/mol\times 450.0g}

k_f=4.12^oC/m

Therefore, the molal freezing point depression constant of X is 4.12^oC/m

If 0.507J of heat leads to a 0.007 degree C change in water, what mass is present?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

17.3 g

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • Quantity of heat, Q = 0.507 J
  • Temperature = 0.007°C
  • Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g°C

Mathematically, Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = MCT

Where;

  • Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.
  • M represents the mass of an object.
  • C represents the specific heat capacity of water.
  • T represents the temperature.

Making "M" the subject of formula, we have;

M = \frac {Q}{CT}

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

M = \frac {0.507}{4.2*0.007}

M = \frac {0.507}{0.0294}

<em>Mass, m = 17.3 grams</em>

PLEASEEEE HELP MEEEEE
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

3.82 x 10²¹ molecules As₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the amount of molecules arsenic (III) oxide (As₂O₃), you need to (1) convert kg to lbs, then (2) convert g As₂O₃ to moles As₂O₃ (via molar mass), and then (3) convert moles to molecules (via Avogadro's number).

1 kilogram = 2.2 lb

Molar Mass (As₂O₃): 2(74.992 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (As₂O₃): 197.978 g/mol

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

0.0146 g As₂O₃            1 kg                  189 lb
------------------------  x  ---------------  x  ------------------  x   ................
         1 kg                     2.2 lb          

       1 mole                6.022 x 10²³ molecules
x  ------------------  x  ---------------------------------------  = 3.82 x 10²¹ molecules As₂O₃
      197.978 g                        1 mole
