Potassium crystallizes in a body centred cubic lattice. Calculate the number of unit cells in 1 g potassium. Atomic mass of potassium=39 u.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the number of unit cells in 1 gram of potassium, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the number of atoms in 1 gram of potassium. The atomic mass of potassium (K) is given as 39 u. This means that 39 grams of potassium contains 1 mole of potassium atoms, which is approximately \(6.02 \times 10^{23}\) atoms (Avogadro's number). To find the number of atoms in 1 gram of potassium, we use the following formula: \[ ...
