IE 114 Material Science and General Chemistry Recitation #3

This document contains multiple questions related to material science and general chemistry concepts: 1) Questions involve calculating molecular weights, volume changes during phase transitions in iron, crystal structure identification for niobium, atomic packing factors, and linear densities of crystal directions. 2) A question involves sketching and indicating atomic positions on a (110) plane of a body-centered tetragonal metal. 3) Questions involve indexing x-ray diffraction peaks, determining interplanar spacings and atomic radii from diffraction data, and calculating and explaining density discrepancies.
