The smallest repeating unit of a crystal of common salt is a cube (called a unit cell) with an edge length of 0.563 nm.
- (a) What is the volume of this cube in cubic nanometers? In cubic centimeters?
- (b) The density of NaCl is 2.17 g/cm3. What is the mass of this smallest repeating unit (“unit cell”)?
- (c) Each repeating unit is composed of four NaCl units. What is the mass of one NaCl formula unit?
(a)
Interpretation: The volume of this cube in cubic nanometers.
Concept Introduction:
Density: Is a characteristic property of a substance. The density of a substance is the relationship between the mass of the substance and how much space it takes up (volume).
Answer to Problem 43GQ
The volume is

- You are given a hammer, a battery, a bulb, wires and switch.(a) How could you use them to distinguish between samples of metals and non- metals?(b) Asses the usefulness of these tests in distinguishing between metals and non-metals?arrow_forwardOne way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq) 3 AgCl(s) + Fe(NO3),(a9) The chemist adds 56.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 2.8 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. mg L Submit Assignment Continue Accessibility Privacy O 2020 McGraw-Hill Education. All Rights Reserved.

- Suppose 25.4 grams of NaCl was added to 400 mL of water. The resulting solution was again diluted with water 1:100 with water. What is the final concentration of the NaCl in μM? The molecular weight of NaCl is 58.44.arrow_forwardThe units of ku are mL (g−1·h−1) but the unit of ke is hour−1. Why?arrow_forwardA common antifreeze for car radiators is ethylene glycol, CH2(OH)CH2(OH). How many milliliters of this substance would you add to 4.2 L of water in the radiator if the coldest day in winter is −25°C? (The density and boiling point of ethylene glycol are 1.11 g·cm−3 and 470. K, respectively. Assume the density of water at its freezing point is 0.99987 g·cm−3, and Kf for water is 1.86 K·kg·mol−1.)arrow_forward
- What is the volume, in cubic centimeters (cm^3) of 1.00 kilograms of gold?arrow_forward(a) The density of iron is 7.874g/cm^(3). Create two conversion factors from the density; (b) What is the volume of 38g of iron?arrow_forward(a) A cube of osmium metal 1.500 cm on a side has a mass of76.31 g at 25 °C. What is its density in g/cm3 at this temperature?(b) The density of titanium metal is 4.51g/cm3 at 25 °C.What mass of titanium displaces 125.0 mL of water at 25 °C? (c) The density of benzene at 15 °C is 0.8787 g/mL. Calculatethe mass of 0.1500 L of benzene at this temperature.arrow_forward
