Potassium crystallizes in a body centred...

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

Verified by Experts

A bcc unit cell has 2 lattice points per unit cell
`therefore` Moles of potassium =`2/39`
Number of atoms of K=`(2xx6.022xx10^23)/39`
Number of unit cells=`(2xx6.022xx10^23)/(39xx2)=1.54xx10^22`
