Cromium and tantalum both have the BCC crystal structure, and Ta forms a substitutional solid solution for all concentrations at room temperature. Compute the unit cell edge length for a 26 wt% Cr - 74 wt% Ta alloy. The room-temperature density and atomic weight of Cr are 7.19 g/cm3 and 52.00 g/mol, the room-temperature density and atomic weight of Ta are 16.6 g/cm3 and 180.95 g/mol, respectively.

0.3139 nm

Explanation:

First of all, let's Calculate the average density of the Cr −Ta alloy;

Formula to get it is;

ρ_avg = 100/[(C_cr/ρ_cr) + (C_ta/ρ_ta)]

We are given;

C_cr = 26%

C_ta = 74%

ρ_cr = 7.13 g/cm³

ρ_ta = 16.6 g/cm³

Thus;

ρ_avg = 100/[(26/7.13) + (74/16.6)]

ρ_avg = 12.34 g/cm³

Similarly, let's Calculate the average atomic weight;

A_avg = 100/[(C_cr/A_cr) + (C_ta/A_ta)]

We are given;

A_cr = 52 g/mol

A_ta = 180.95 g/mol

Thus;

A_avg = 100/[(24/52) + (74/180.95)]

A_avg = 114.88 g/mol

Formula for the volume of the unit cell is;

V = n(A_avg)/(N_A × ρ_avg)

Where;

n is number of atoms in the cell which in this case = 2

N_A is avogadro's number = 6.022 × 10^(23)

Thus;

V = (2 × 114.88)/(6.022 × 10^(23) × 12.34)

V = 30.92 × 10^(-24) cm³

Length of the unit cell edge length is given by the formula;

a = ∛V

Thus;

a = ∛(30.92 × 10^(-24))

a = 0.00000003139 cm

Converting to metre, we have;

a = 0.3139 × 10^(-9) m = 0.3139 nm

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )

c. is the answer
