Chapter 11

5. An element crystallizes in a body-centered cubic lattice. The edge of the unit cell is 2.98 , and the density of the crystal is 8.99 . Calculate the atomic weight of the element.

Length of unit edge = 2.98 A x (1 x 10-8 cm/A) = 2.98 x 10-8 cm
Volume of unit cell = (2.98 x 10-8 cm)3 = 2.65 x 10-23 cm3

In body-centered cubic lattice, 2 atoms occupy a unit cell.

8.99 g/cm3 (2.65 x 10-23 cm3) = 2.38 x 10-22 g (mass of 2 atoms)

Mass of 1 atom = 2.38 x 10-22 g /2
Mass of 1 atom = 1.19 x 10-22 g

Atomic weight = 1.19 x 10-22 g/atom (6.022 x 1023 atoms/mole)

Atomic weight = 71.63 g/mol

9. Calculate the minimum number of grams of propane, , that must be combusted to provide the energy necessary to convert 5.70 of ice at -18.0 to liquid water at 71.5 .

To raise the temp of ice from -18 C to its melting point of O0C:
H = mCT
H = 5700 g (2.1J/g-C)(180C)
H = 215,460 Joules

To melt the ice:
H = mC
H = 5700 grams (333J/g)
H = 1,898,100 Joules

To raise the temp of liquid water from 0 C to 71.5 0C
H = mCdT
H = 5700 g (4.184J/g-C)( 71.5 0C)
H = 1,705,189.2 Joules

The sum of the 3 processes Htotal is:
Htotal = 3,818,749.2 Joules
Htotal = 3,818.75 kiloJoules

The heat of combustion of propane is 49.9 kJ/g
Therefore,
49.9 kJ /g propane = 3,818.75 kiloJoules/x

x = 76.53 g of propane
