AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the Miller-Bravais indices for a specific vector within a hexagonal unit cell. The user calculated values for a1, a2, and c as 1/2 each, leading to integer values of u', v', and w' as 1. However, the resulting direction calculated was [11-23], which was later deemed incorrect. The user expresses uncertainty about either the interpretation of the image or the application of the equations provided. Clarification on the correct approach to finding the indices is sought.

Homework Statement



What are the Miller-Bravais indices for the direction represented by the vector that has been drawn within a unit cell?

Homework Equations



u = 1/3(2u' - v')
v = 1/3(2v' - u')
t = -(u+v)
w = w'

Equations from this book: Materials Science & Engineering an Introduction by Callister, 8th Edition

The Attempt at a Solution



From the image, I got that the values of a1, a2, and c are respectively: 1/2, 1/2, 1/2. Then multiplying by 2 to get integer values, I have u'=1, v'=1, and w'=1. Working everything out with the given equations, I from that the direction should be [11-23] but my answer turned out to be wrong.

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the image incorrectly or if I'm not using the equations correctly.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
