1. A cubic unit cell will can have atoms, molecules, or ions located on the corners, edges, or sides of the cell. Corner atoms contribute (1/8) of the atom to the cell, edge atoms contribute (1/4), and side (or face) atoms contribute (1/2) atom per cell. If you have 8 atoms of X on the corners, they contribute 8*(1/8) = 1 X atom. The 6 face atoms contribute 6*(1/2) = 3 Y atoms. Therefore, the formula is XY3.
2. To work this problem, you first need a balanced equation: 2 NH3 → N2 + 3 H2
Once the initial concentration, x, of ammonia is decomposed, you will have x mm Hg of N2 gas and 3x mm Hg H2 gas. Setting these equal to the total pressure, we get x + 3x = 866.
Combine like terms: 4x = 866
Divide both sides by 4: x = 216.5
Therefore, the final pressure of N2 = x = 216.5 mm Hg and the final pressure of H2 = 3x = 649.5 mm Hg.
