A crystallographer measures the horizontal spacing between molecules in a crystal. The spacing is 17.67nm. What is the total width of a crystal in millimeters 105 molecules across? Write your answer as a decimal.
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.
Sam drops a sugar cube into a jar with hot water and a sugar cube into a jar with cold water. Both jars have the same volume of water. He drops the sugar cubes at the same time and then observes how much of them dissolves in two minutes.
What will be the result of Sam’s experiment, and which statement should he use as his conclusion?
A
A greater amount of sugar dissolved in hot water because temperature is directly proportional to the
solubility rate of sugar in water.
B
Temperature does not affect the solubility rate of the sugar cube in water because sugar dissolves
equally in both cold and hot water.
C
A greater amount of sugar dissolved in hot water because temperature is inversely proportional to
the solubility rate of sugar in water.
D
A smaller amount of sugar dissolved in cold water because temperature is inversely proportional to
the solubility rate of sugar in water.
