The density and edge length values for a...

The density and edge length values for a crystalline element with fcc lattice are `10 g cm^(-3)` and 400 pm respectively. The number of unit cells in 32 g of this crystal is

A

`8xx10^23`

B

`5xx10^22`

C

`8xx10^22`

D

`5xx10^23`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Volume of the unit cell=`a^3="(400 pm)"^3`
`=(400xx10^(-10)cm)^3 =64 xx 10^(-24)cm^3`
Density of the unit cell=`10g//cm^3`
Mass of unit cell=Volume x density
`=64xx10^(-24)xx10=640xx10^(-24) g`
Now, `640xx10^(-24) g -=` 1 unit cell
`therefore 32 g -= 1/(640xx10^(-24))xx32=0.05xx10^24=5xx10^22`
