-Mn has a cubic structure with a0 = 0.8931 nm and a density of 7.47 g/cm3. -Mn has a different cubic structure, with a0 = 0.6326 nm and a density of 7.26 g/cm3. The atomic weight of manganese is 54.938 g/mol and the atomic radius is 0.112 nm. Determine the percent volume change that would occur if -Mn transforms to -Mn. (9 poi

Answer:

The percentage volume change is -3.0%

Explanation: We are to determine the percentage change that will occurs is alpha-Mn is transformed to beta-Mn

Value are defined as;

Cubic structure (a0) for alpha-Mn = 0.8931nm = 0.8931e-9m = 7.1236e-28cm3

Cubic structure (a0) for beta-Mn = 0.6326nm = 0.6326e-9m = 2.5316e-28cm3

Density of alpha-Mn = 7.47g/cm3

Density of beta-Mn = 7.26g/cm3

Atomic weight of Mn = 54.938g/mol

Atomic radius of Mn = 0.112nm

STEP1: CALCULATE THE ATOM NUMBER PER CELL IN THE ALPHA-Mn;

Atom per cell = (density × cubic structure × Avogadro's constant) ÷ (atomic weight ) × 100000

(7.47× 7.1236e-28 × 6.02e23) ÷ 54.938 = 58.31

Therefore the number of Atom in alpha-Mn is 58.31 atom per cell

STEP2: CALCULATE THE NUMBER OF ATOM PER CELL IN THE BETA-Mn

Atom per cell = (density × cubic structure × Avogadro's constant) ÷ (atomic weight) × 1000000

(7.26 × 2.5316e-28 × 6.02e23) ÷ 54.938 = 20.14

Therefore the number of Atom in beta-Mn is 20.14 atom per cell

STEP3: CALCULATE THE PERCENTAGE VOLUME OF ALPHA-Mn AND BETA-Mn

V% = [(volume of atom × number of atom per cell) ÷ volume of unit cell] × 1000

For Alpha-Mn:

[(1.4049e-30 × 58.31) ÷ 7.1236e-28] × 1000 = 114.998%

For Beta-Mn:

[(1.4049e-30 × 20.14) ÷ 2.5316e-28] × 1000 = 111.766%

STEP4: CALCULATE THE CHANGE IN PERCENTAGE VOLUME FOR ALPHA TO TRANSFORM TO BETA

change = final state - initial state

Therefore;

Change = 111.766 - 114.998 = -3.23%

Therefore for a transformation of Alpha-Mn to Beta-Mn they will be a decrease in volume
