4. Find the atomic spacing in a crystal of rock salt (NaCl), whose cubic structure. The density of rock salt is 2.16x 10 kg/m3 and the average masses of the Na and Cl atoms are respectively 3.82x10-26 kg and 5.89x1026 kg
6. An insulated container with a fixed volume holds 2 mol of a mystery diatomic gas, X2, at an initial temperature of 300 K. The X-X bond has an energy of 2000 J per mole of X2. The gas undergoes the reaction X2 2X. What is the final temperature of the gas after all the X-X bonds have been broken? 230 K a. b. 69.8 K C. 140 K d. 460 K e. None of the above
3. Show that in an ideal hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) structure, where the atomic spheres touch each other, the ratio c/a is given by :-()* ( 8 \ 1/2 = 1.633. (The hep structure is discussed in Section 7.) 4 The packing ratio is defined as the fraction of the total volume of the cell that is filled by atoms. Determine the maximum values of this ratio for equal spheres located at the points of simple-cubic, body-centered-cubic, and face-centered-cubic crystals.
