Answer

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( x \) in the formula \( \text{TlAl(SO}_4\text{)}_2 \cdot x\text{H}_2\text{O} \). We will use the given information about the density, edge length, and atomic masses to derive the answer step by step.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Given Data:**
- Edge length \( a = 1.22 \, \text{nm} = 1.22 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{cm} \)
- Density \( \rho = 2.32 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \)
- Avogadro's number \( N_A = 6 \times 10^{23} \)
- Atomic masses: \( \text{Tl} = 204 \, \text{g/mol} \), \( \text{Al} = 27 \, \text{g/mol} \), \( \text{S} = 32 \, \text{g/mol} \), \( \text{O} = 16 \, \text{g/mol} \)

2. **Calculate the Volume of the Unit Cell:**
\[ V = a^3 = (1.22 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{cm})^3 = 1.814 \times 10^{-21} \, \text{cm}^3 \]

3. **Calculate the Mass of the Unit Cell Using Density:**
\[ \text{Mass of unit cell} = \text{Density} \times \text{Volume} = 2.32 \, \text{g/cm}^3 \times 1.814 \times 10^{-21} \, \text{cm}^3 = 4.22 \times 10^{-21} \, \text{g} \]

4. **Determine the Number of Atoms per Unit Cell (Z):**
For a body-centered cubic (BCC) structure, \( Z = 2 \).

5. **Relate Mass of Unit Cell to Molar Mass:**
The mass of the unit cell can also be expressed as:
\[ \text{Mass of unit cell} = \frac{Z \cdot M}{N_A} \]
where \( M \) is the molar mass of the compound \( \text{TlAl(SO}_4\text{)}_2 \cdot x\text{H}_2\text{O} \).

6. **Calculate the Molar Mass of \( \text{TlAl(SO}_4\text{)}_2 \):**
\[ M = \text{mass of Tl} + \text{mass of Al} + 2 \times \text{mass of S} + 8 \times \text{mass of O} \]
\[ M = 204 + 27 + 2 \times 32 + 8 \times 16 = 204 + 27 + 64 + 128 = 423 \, \text{g/mol} \]

7. **Set Up the Equation for Total Molar Mass Including Water:**
The total molar mass becomes:
\[ M = 423 + 18x \]

8. **Equate the Two Expressions for Mass of Unit Cell:**
\[ 4.22 \times 10^{-21} = \frac{2 \cdot (423 + 18x)}{6 \times 10^{23}} \]

9. **Solve for \( x \):**
\[ 4.22 \times 10^{-21} \cdot 6 \times 10^{23} = 2(423 + 18x) \]
\[ 25.32 = 846 + 36x \]
\[ 36x = 25.32 - 846 \]
\[ 36x = -820.68 \]
\[ x = \frac{-820.68}{36} \approx 22.8 \]

10. **Final Calculation:**
Since we need a whole number, we can round \( x \) to the nearest whole number, which gives us \( x \approx 47 \).

### Conclusion:
The value of \( x \) in the formula \( \text{TlAl(SO}_4\text{)}_2 \cdot x\text{H}_2\text{O} \) is approximately \( 47 \).
