    Calculate the surface area of 1 g of TiO2 powder

    Mass = Volume * Density = (Pi*(100*10^-4 cm)^3)/6 * 4.23 g/cm^3 = 2.214 * 10^-6 g per particle 1g / 2.214 *10^-6 g / particle = 451671 particles in 1 gram that are 100 micrometers. SA = pi*D^2 = pi*(100*10^-6 m)^2 * 451671 = .01419 m^2 is the SA of 1gram ? still a bit iffy about part 2 if...

    Calculate the surface area of 1 g of TiO2 powder

    Yes Mass = Volume * Density = (Pi*(100*10^-7 cm)^3)/6 * 4.23 g/cm^3 mass 1 particle= 2.214 * 10^-15 g mass 1 g = 2.214 * 10^-15 / 79 so 1.68 *10^7 particles to get 1g mass?

    Calculate the surface area of 1 g of TiO2 powder

    Homework Statement Calculate the surface area of 1g of powder with a size of 100micrometer. Assume the particles are spherical. Then estimate the percentage of TiO2 molecules at the surface of the particle (relative to the total number of TiO2 molecules in the volume of the particle) for the...

    How does a frank reed source generate dislocations?

    Hey sorry but I've been looking through several online resources and books but I cannot find a dumbed down explanation of how a frank reed source generates dislocations. Like what is the shears doing and the burgers vector?? I am so confused can someone enlighten me please? thanks

    Statics Problem - understanding the directions.

    Homework Statement Ok so basiclly I know how to do the problems, but I'm confused when to make the force negative and when to ignore the negative. forexample: http://yfrog.com/jastaticsprobp solving part a: Moment at A = -24*39 -(-14*39) = 2028 notice how i had to do -(-14*39) to...

    True/False: Plate Size & Fracture Stress

    True or false: a large plate of a brittle material fractures at a higher applied tensile stress as compared to a small plate of the same material. and True or false: the critical stress for a fracture of an internal crack of length 1mm is less than the critical stress for fracture of the same...

    How Do You Calculate Hardness from Concentration Using Fick's Second Law?

    i am guessing that they want me to use the graph to get another plot with concentration vs depth... then from that i am to get hardness vs depth. other than that i am confused as well. i have D and D_0 and Q_d and R and T. from this i can get concentration using flicks 2nd law.. but what about...

    Which Wave Function Describes a Wave Moving in the -x Direction?

    Homework Statement which of the wave functions describe a wave that moves in the -x direction y(x,t) =Asin(-kx-wt) y(x,t)=Asin(kx+wt) y(x,t)=Acos(kx+wt) Homework Equations wave function The Attempt at a Solution I know B and C both move left looking at the phase (kx+wt) because...

    What is the relationship between wavelength and phase for mechanical waves?

    oh so it would be k=2n/lambda ... the 2n = 2(2pi) and the lambda = 2pi?
