I have a few chem Problem i cant quite get If anyone can PLE
I have a few chem Problem i cant quite get If anyone can PLEASE Help :)
1. At what angle (in degrees) does first-order diffraction from layers of atoms 225.6 pm apart occur, using x rays with a wavelength of 194 pm?
2. Ar is a solid below -189 oC with a face-centered cubic array of atoms and a supposed density of 2.21 g/cm3. Assuming that the atoms are spheres in contact along the face diagonal, what is the radius of a Ar atom (in Angstroms)? An angstrom = 10-10 m or 10-8 cm. Hint, first find the length of an edge of the unit cell. (Argon\'s actual density is 1.65 g/cm3.)
3. Hypothetical metal M has a molecular weight 160 g/mol and crystallizes in a body-centered cubic array of atoms in which the length of the unit cell\'s edge is 411.7 pm (10-12 m). Calculate the density of the metal in g/cm3.
Solution
1) n*lambda= d*sin theta
n=1
sin theta= lambda/d= 194/225.6
theta= 59.3o
2)density= ZM/Noa^3
a^3=4*40/(6.023*10^23)*2.21
a= 4.93*10^-8 cm
r=a/2*sqrt2 = 1.74*10^-8cm= 1.74 Angstroms
3)d=ZM/Noa^3= 2*160/(6.023*10^23)*(411.7*1)^3
