An element crystallizes in a f.c.c. lattice with cell edge of 400 pm. The density of the element is
How many atoms are present in 280 g of the element?
Given: Z(no of unit cells) = 4 (f.c.c)
Edge length (a) = 400pm = 4 × 10-8 cm
Density (ρ) = 7 g/cm
NA = 6.022 × 1023 atoms
Now we apply the formula,
![]()
We can also write,
![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ M= 67.2 g/mol
Now, if 67.2 g/mol = 6.022 × 1023 atoms
![]()
⇒ 25.11 × 1023 atoms
Thus, 25.11 × 1023 atoms are present in 300 g of the element
