21.46 g/cm³

Further explanation

This calculation pertains to the topic of the arrangement of crystalline solids.

This question requires us to determine the theoretical density of platinum (Pt).

The formula for calculating theoretical density can be expressed as \boxed{ \ \rho = \frac{(number \ of \ atoms/unit \ cell)(atomic \ mass)}{(volume \ of \ unit \ cell)(Avogadro's \ number)} \ }

using the following symbols, i.e.,

\boxed{ \ \rho = \frac{(n)(A)}{(V_C)(N_A)}\ }

The given information includes:

an atomic radius of 0.1387 nm; therefore, \boxed{R = 0.1387 \ nm \times \Big( \frac{10^{-9} \ m}{1 \ nm} \Big) \times \Big( \frac{10^2 \ cm}{1 \ m} \Big)}

Consequently, \boxed{ \ R = 0.1387 \times 10^{-7} \ cm \ = 1.387 \times 10^{-8} \ cm \ }

the atomic mass is 195.08 g/mol

Since platinum exhibits an FCC crystal structure, n = 4 atoms, and \boxed{ \ V_C = (2R \sqrt{2})^3 \ }

Now, let’s calculate the unit cell volumes.

\boxed{ \ V_C = (2(1.387 \times 10^{-8}) \sqrt{2})^3 \ }

\boxed{ \ V_C = (1.387 \times 10^{-8})^3 \times 16\sqrt{2} \ }

\boxed{ \ V_C = 6.038 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3 \ }

Insert all data into the general formula.

\boxed{ \ \rho = \frac{(4 \ atoms/unit \ cell)(195.08 \ g/mol)}{(6.038 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3/unit \ cell)(6.023 \times 10^{23} \ atoms/mol)} \ }

Therefore, the theoretical density of platinum equates to 21.46 g/cm³ (rounded to two decimal places).

The formula to apply is expressed as:

ρ = nA/VcNₐ
where
ρ signifies density
n represents the number of atoms within a unit cell (for FCC, n=4)
A indicates the atomic weight
Vc stands for the cubic cell volume equal to a³, with a being the side length (for FCC, a = 4r/√2, where r is the radius)\
Nₐ denotes Avogadro's number, which is 6.022×10²³ atoms/mol

Calculating the radius: r = 0.1387 nm*(10⁻⁹ m/nm)*(100 cm/1m) = 1.387×10⁻⁸ cm
Then find a: a = 4(1.387×10⁻⁸ cm)/√2 = 3.923×10⁻⁸ cm
Then calculate V: V = a³ = (3.923×10⁻⁸ cm)³ = 6.0376×10⁻²³ cm³

Now compute density:
ρ = [(4 atoms)(195.08 g/mol)]/[(6.0376×10⁻²³ cm³)(6.022×10²³ atoms/mol)]Finally, we get ρ = 21.46 g/cm³

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t
Keith_Richards [3271]

Response:

The intensity of light 18 feet underwater is about 0.02%

Clarification:

Employing Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality factor, I represents the intensity of incident light, and t indicates the thickness of the medium

Then dI / I = kdt

Taking logarithms,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

At t=0, I=I(0) implies C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

At t=3 & I=0.25I(0), we find 0.25=e^3k

Solving for k gives k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

The intensity of light 18 feet underwater is about 0.2%

A test car carrying a crash test dummy accelerates from 0 to 30 m/s and then crashes into a brick wall. Describe the direction o
Maru [3345]

Answer:

The direction in which a vehicle accelerates aligns with its velocity direction. However, the force of acceleration works against the car's speed.

Explanation:

The car’s initial acceleration can be found using:

v = v₀ + a t

a = (v-v₀) t

which assumes the initial speed is zero (v₀ = 0 m/s).

a = v / t

a = 300 / t

The acceleration vector matches the direction of the vehicle's movement.

Upon hitting the wall, a force is exerted in the reverse direction to halt the car, thus this acceleration opposes the vehicle’s speed. However, the module should be much greater since the stopping distance is minimal.
