Iron has a body centred cubic unit cell...

Iron has a body centred cubic unit cell with a cell dimension of `286.65` pm. The density of irong is `7.874 g cm^(-3)`. Use this information to calculate Avogardo's number ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`d= 7.87 g cm^(-3)`,
For bec, `Z = 2, M = 56 g mol^(1)`
`a = 286.65 "pm" = 286.65xx10^(-10) cm , N_(A) =?`
`d = (Z xx M)/(N_(A) x a^(3))`
`N_(A) = (Z xx M)/(d xx a^(3))`
`N_(A) = (2xx55.845)/(7.874xx(286.65 xx 10^(-10)cm)^(3))`
`N_(A) = 6.03 xx 10^(23)` atom/mol.
