A metallic element exists as a cubic lattice. Each edge of the unit cell is `2.88Å`. The density of the metal is `7.20 gcm^(-3)`. How many unit cells there will be in 100g of the metal ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Volume of unit cell = `(2.88 Å )^(3) = 23.9 xx 10^(-24) cm^(3)`
Volume of 100 g of the metal = `(m)/(rho)`
`= 100 = 13.9 cm^(3)`
Number of unit cells in this volume = `(139 cm^(3))/(23.9 xx 10^(-24) cm^(3)) = 5.82 xx 10^(23)`
