Why is it valid to represent the structure of a crystalline solid by the structure of its unit cell? What are the most important constraints in selecting a unit cell?
Portable (notebook) computers and digital cameras can have their housing made of magnesium. Why?
We're told oxygen is the most common element in the Earth's solid crust. But how much oxygen is there? Let's compare to the amount of oxygen in the Earth's
atmosphere, like this:
• The most common minerals in the Earth's crust are feldspars, and albite (NaAlSi,0g) is a typical feldspar. Let's assume the entire crust is made of albite
with a density of 2.6 g/cm°.
• The radius of the Earth is 6371. km and let's say the crust is the upper 100. km of it.
• Let's model the Earth's atmosphere as a layer on top of the Earth about 100. km thick with an average density of 0.99 g/m", and which is 23.1% oxygen
by mass.
Use this information to calculate the ratio of the mass of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere to the mass of oxygen in the Earth's crust. Round your answer to 2
significant digits.
