If the unit cell of a mineral has cubic close packed (ccp) array of oxygen atoms with m fraction of octahedral holes occupied by aluminium ions and n fraction of tetrahedral holes occupied by magnesium ions, m and n, respectively, are
- A
- B
- C
- D
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In ccp, ions are 4.
Hence total negative charge = -8
Let ions be x, and ions be y.
Total positive charge = 3x + 2y
This relation is satisfied only by x = 2 and y = 1.
Hence number of
and number of
n = fraction of octahedral holes occupied by
and m = fraction of tetrahedral holes occupied by

- Paragraph:
Redox reaction play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential \(\left(E^{\circ}\right)\) of two half-cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. A simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited. Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their \(E^{\circ}(V\) with respect to normal hydrogen electrode) values. Using this data obtain the correct explanations to Questions 14-19.
