In modeling solid-state structures, atoms and ions are most often modeled as spheres. A structure built using spheres will have some empty, or void, space in it. A measure of void space in a particular structure is the packing efficiency, defined as the volume occupied by the spheres divided by the total volume of the structure. Given that a solid crystallizes in a body centered cubic structure that is 3.12 Å on each side, answer questions (a)-(e). (1 Å = 1 10-10 m.) (a) How many total atoms are there in each unit cell? atom(s) (b) What is the volume of one unit cell in Å3? WebAssign will check your answer for the correct number of significant figures. Å3 (c) Assuming that the atoms are spheres and the radius of each sphere is 1.35 Å, what is the volume of one atom in Å3? (Vsphere = 4/3πr3.) WebAssign will check your answer for the correct number of significant figures. Å3 (d) Therefore, what volume of atoms are in one unit cell? WebAssign will check your answer for the correct number of significant figures. Å3 (e) Based on your results from parts (b) and (d), what is the packing efficiency of the solid expressed as a percentage?

Calculate the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 7. find the concentration of h+ ions to oh– ions listed in table b of your student guide. then divide the h+ concentration by the oh– concentration. record this calculated ratio in table a of your student guide. compare your approximated and calculated ratios of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 7. are they the same? why or why not? record your comparison in table a. what is the concentration of h+ ions at a ph = 7? mol/l what is the concentration of oh– ions at a ph = 7? mol/l what is the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 7? : 1
