Some hypothetical metal has a simple cubic crystal structure. If its atomic weight is 68.73 g/mol and the atomic radius in atomic radius is 0.153 nm, calculate its theoretical density in g/cm3. NA = 6.022 x 1023 atoms/mol.
Express your answer in two decimal places only. Do not put the units.
Density of an aqueous solution of nitric acid is 1.43 g/mL. If this solutioin contained 36.0% nitric acid by mass, what volume of solution would be needed to supply 1.50 mmol of nitric acid?
The thermal conductivities of human tissues vary greatly. Fat and skin have conductivities of about 0.20 W/m · K and 0.020 W/m · K respectively, while other tissues inside the body have conductivities of about 0.50 W/m · K. Assume that between the core region of the body and the skin surface lies a skin layer of 1.0 mm, fat layer of 0.50 cm, and 3.2 cm of other tissues.
(a) Find the R-factor for each of these layers, and the equivalent R-factor for all layers taken together, retaining two digits.

Sciencearrow_forwardIn our chemistry laboratory class, the formula for surface tension given is y=mg/2(pi) x r x f where y=surface tension, m= mass of the drop, g= gravitational acceleration, pi is 3.1415, r= outer radius of burette, f=correction factor. Now I searched the internet and it says that the unit for surface tension is kg x m/s^2. The problem is I have grams for the mass of the drop and that the outer radius of the burette is in centimeter while the gravitational acceleration is in meter. What will happen is like this: (1 g x 9.8 m/s^2) / 2 (3.1415) x 0.15 cm x 0.74643 (correction factor no unit) As you can see, if I don't cancel m and cm, the unit will be g x cm x m x s^2. However if change the radius of the burette into meter, it will cancel, the unit will be g x s^2 (missing meter). What can I do to get kg x m/s^2 as the unit for final answer?arrow_forward
