Some hypothetical alloy is composed of 25 wt% of metal A and 75 wt% of metal B. If the densities of metals A and B are 6.17 and 8.00 g/cm3 , respectively, and their respective atomic weights are 171.3 and 162.0 g/mol, determine whether the crystal structure for this alloy is simple cubic, facecentered cubic, or body-centered cubic. Assume a unit cell edge length of 0.332 nm

Simple cubic

Explanation:

The density of metal A (ρa) = 6.17 g/cm³, The density of metal B (ρb) = 8 g/cm³, The atomic weight of metal A (Aa) = 171.3 g/mol, The atomic weight of metal B (Ab) = 162 g/mol, the unit cell edge length (a) = 0.332 nm, concentration of metal A (Ca) = 25%, concentration of metal B (Cb) = 75%

The average density is given by:

n≅1

Since n≅1, the crystal structure for this alloy is simple cubic

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.

it should have an internal chamber and two thermometers sticking out of the top. the internal chamber will also be closed off from the outside.
