- Copper:(a) Suppose you have a cube of copper metal that is 0.236 cm on a side with a mass of0.1206 g. If you know that each copper atom (radius = 128 pm) has a mass of 1.055 ×10–22 g (you will learn in Chapter 2 how to find the mass of one atom), how manyatoms are there in this cube? What fraction of the cube is filled with atoms? (Orconversely, how much of the lattice is empty space?) Why is there “empty” space in thelattice?(b) Now look at the smallest, repeating unit of the crystal lattice of copper.Knowing that an edge of this cube is 361.47 pm and the density of copper is 8.960g/cm3, calculate the number of copper atoms in this smallest, repeating unitarrow_forwardChemistarrow_forwardExpress the answers to the following calculations inscientific notation:(a) 145.75 + (2.3 × 10−1)(b) 79,500 ÷ (2.5 × 102)(c) (7.0 × 10−3 ) − (8.0 × 10−4) (d) (1.0 × 104 ) × (9.9 × 106)arrow_forward
- Generally, two types of representative samples are observed in the sampling process. They are gross samples and laboratory samples. The laboratory sample that has higher in size, but it has number of particles as compared with a gross sample. Answer Choices: (A) Same (В) More (C) Less (D) Infinitearrow_forwardplease help me with this i need answer at the moment, kindly show the full conversion.

(b) Calculate the mass of8.01 x 10 SO, molecules. x 10 es Euter your answer in scientific notation.arrow_forwardArchimedes, a famous Greek scientist, was given a problem by King Hieron II of Syracuse (Sicily). The king suspected that his crown, which was supposed to be made of pure gold, contained some silver alloy, and he asked Archimedes to prove or disprove his suspicion. (It turned out that the crown did not contain silver.) How would you experimentally determined whether or not the crown was pure gold? (Hint: The method came to Archimedes when getting into a full bathtub. See the footnote in Experiment 22 for Archimedes’ solution.)arrow_forwardPerform the following arithmetic operations, and report the result to the proper number of significant figures:(a) 105.5 L + 10.65 L, (b) 81.058 m − 0.35 m, (c) 3.801 × 1021 atoms + 1.228 × 1019 atoms, (d) 1.255 dm × 25 dm, (e) 139 g ÷ 275.55 mL.arrow_forward
