An elementcrystallises inthe fcccrystallatticeand hasa densityof 10 g cm^(-3)withunitcell edgelengthof 100 pm . Calculatenumberof atomspresentin 1 gof crystal.

Answer»


Solution :Given : Densityof CRYSTAL = d= 10 `g cm^(-3)`
Edgelength =a= 100 pm `=1xx 10^(-8)cm`
Avogadronumber `= N_(A) = 6.022 xx 10^(23) mol^(-1)`
Numberof atom = s PRESENTIN 1 gcrystal = ?
LETN be theatomicmass of theelement .
Mass of one atom `= (M )/(6.022 xx 10^(23))`
Fcc typeunitcellcontains 4 atoms.
`:. ` Massof unitcell = Massof 4 atoms `= 4 xx (M)/(6.022 xx 10^(23))`
Volumeof unitcell `=a^(3) = (1 xx 10^(-8))^(3) =1 xx 10^(-24) cm^(3)`
Densityof the crystal =d= `("Mass ofunit CELL" )/("volumeof unit cell" )`
`10= 4 xx M //6.022 xx (10^(23))/(1xx 10^(-24))`
`= (4 xx M)/(6.022 xx 10^(23) xx 1 xx 10^(-24)) = (4 M)/(0.6022)`
`:. M = (10 xx0.6022)/(4) =1.5 g mol^(-4)`
Now1 gramatom= 1mole ofelement=1.5g
`:.` 1.5 gelementcontains6.022 `xx 10^(23)` atoms
`:.` 1 g element willcontains.` (6.022 xx 10^(23))/(1.5) =4 xx 10^(23) ` atoms
