A unit of cell of sodium chloride has four formula units. The edge length of the unit cell is `0.564 nm`. What is the density of sodium chloride?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2.16 `g//cm^(3)`
Density of NaCl
`rho=(nxx"atomicweight")/(N_(0)xxa^(3))=(4xx98.5)/(6.023xx10^(-23)xx(5.64xx10^(-8))^(3))`
[for NaCl,n=4,fcc] `=2.16g//cm^(3)`
