Determine the radius of an Al atom (in pm) if the density of aluminum is 2.71 g/cm3 . Aluminum crystallizes in a face centered cubic structure with an edge leng

143pm is the radius of an Al atom

Explanation:

In a face centered cubic structure, FCC, there are 4 atoms per unit cell.

First, you need to obtain the mass of an unit cell using molar mass of Aluminium  and thus, obtain edge length and knowing Edge = √8R you can find the radius, R, of an Al atom.

Mass of an unit cell

As 1 mole of Al weighs 26.98g. 4 atoms of Al weigh:

4 atoms × (1mole / 6.022x10²³atoms) × (26.98g / mole) = 1.792x10⁻²²g

Edge length

As density of aluminium is 2.71g/cm³, the volume of an unit cell is:

1.792x10⁻²²g × (1cm³ / 2.71g) = 6.613x10⁻²³cm³

And the length of an edge of the cell is:

∛6.613x10⁻²³cm³ = 4.044x10⁻⁸cm = 4.044x10⁻¹⁰m

Radius:

As in FCC structure, Edge = √8 R, radius of an atom of Al is:

4.044x10⁻¹⁰m = √8 R

1.430x10⁻¹⁰m = R.

In pm:

1.430x10⁻¹⁰m ₓ (1x10¹²pm / 1m) =

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
