The pyknometer density of NaCl crystal i...

The pyknometer density of NaCl crystal is 2.165 `xx 10^(3) kg m^(-3)` while its X -rays density is `2.178 xx 10^(3) kg m^(-3)`. The fraction of the unoccupied sites in NaCl crystal is `:`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

d. Molar volume from pyknometric density
`= ("Weight or mass")/("Volume") = ("Weight" (W))/(2.165 xx 10^(3))m^(3)`
Molar volume from `X`-ray density `= (W)/(2.178 xx 10^(3))m^(3)`
Volume unoccupied `= (W)/(10^(3)) ((1)/(2.165) - (1)/(2.178))m^(3)`
`= (0.013 W xx 10^(-3))/(2.165 xx 2.178)`
`:.` Fraction unoccupied `= ((0.013 W xx 10^(-3))/(2.165 xx 2.178))//((W xx 10^(23))/(2.165))`
`= 5.96 xx 10^(-3)`
