Chapter 10: Problem 74

The structure of manganese fluoride can be described as a simple cubic array of manganese ions with fluoride ions at the center of each edge of the cubic unit cell. What is the charge of the manganese ions in this compound?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The ratio of manganese ions to fluoride ions in the compound is 1:6. Since each fluoride ion has a charge of -1, the charge of the manganese ions must be +6 (Mn鈦垛伜) to balance the negative charge from the fluoride ions.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the number of manganese and fluoride ions in a unit cell

We are given that the manganese ions form a simple cubic array, which means there is one manganese ion at each corner of the unit cell. There are a total of 8 corners in a cubic unit cell, so there are 8 manganese ions/cell. However, since each corner contributes 1/8 of an ion to the cell (because they are shared by 8 adjacent cells), there is effectively 8 * (1/8) = 1 manganese ion/cell. For fluoride ions, they are located at the center of each edge of the cubic unit cell. Each unit cell has 12 edges, and since each edge contributes 1/2 of an ion to the cell (because they are shared by 2 adjacent cells), there are effectively 12 * (1/2) = 6 fluoride ions/cell.
02

Find the ratio of manganese ions to fluoride ions

To determine the ratio of manganese ions to fluoride ions in the compound, we will use the number of ions per unit cell. Mn : F 1 : 6 The ratio of manganese ions to fluoride ions in the compound is 1 : 6.
03

Determine the charge of the manganese ions

Fluoride ions have a charge of -1 (F鈦�). Since there are six fluoride ions in the unit cell, the total negative charge contributed by fluoride ions is -6. To balance the charges in the compound, the positive charge from the manganese ions must equal the negative charge from the fluoride ions. Let x be the charge of the manganese ion (Mn ^x+). Since there is 1 manganese ion in the unit cell, the equation for the balancing of charges is: 1 * x = 6 * (-1) Solve for x: x = -6 Therefore the charge of the manganese ions in this compound is +6 (Mn鈦垛伜).

Water in an open beaker evaporates over time. As the water is evaporating, is the vapor pressure increasing, decreasing, or staying the same? Why?

Dry nitrogen gas is bubbled through liquid benzene \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6}\right)\) at \(20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). From \(100.0 \mathrm{~L}\) of the gaseous mixture of nitrogen and benzene, \(24.7 \mathrm{~g}\) benzene is condensed by passing the mixture through a trap at a temperature where nitrogen is gaseous and the vapor pressure of benzene is negligible. What is the vapor pressure of benzene at \(20.0{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ?

\(\mathrm{X}\) rays from a copper \(\mathrm{X}\) -ray tube \((\lambda=154 \mathrm{pm})\) were diffracted at an angle of \(14.22\) degrees by a crystal of silicon. Assuming first-order diffraction \((n=1\) in the Bragg equation), what is the interplanar spacing in silicon?

In regions with dry climates, evaporative coolers are used to cool air. A typical electric air conditioner is rated at \(1.00 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{Btu} / \mathrm{h}\) (1 Btu, or British thermal unit \(=\) amount of energy to raise the temperature of \(1 \mathrm{lb}\) water by \(\left.1^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right) .\) What quantity of water must be evaporated each hour to dissipate as much heat as a typical electric air conditioner?

Some ionic compounds contain a mixture of different charged cations. For example, some titanium oxides contain a mixture of \(\mathrm{Ti}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Ti}^{3+}\) ions. Consider a certain oxide of titanium that is \(28.31 \%\) oxygen by mass and contains a mixture of \(\mathrm{Ti}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Ti}^{3+}\) ions. Determine the formula of the compound and the relative numbers of \(\mathrm{Ti}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Ti}^{3+}\) ions.
