The nearest neighbour Ag atoms in the silver crystal are 2.87 x 10–10 m apart. What is the density of silver? Silver crystallises in fcc form.


we have given :
mass of silver = 107.87 g
Z(FCC)          = 4
distance between nearest neighbour Ag atoms = 2.87 x10-10

face diagonal 2 =2.87 x10-10 m2a2 =2.87 x10-10 m a= 2.87 x10-10 x 2a= 2.87 x10-10 x 1.414a= 4.05 x 10-10now using formula d= Z x Ma3 x NAd =4 x 107.87(4.05 x 10)3 x 6.02 x1023d= 10.84 g cm-3

Aluminium forms fcc cubic crystals. The density of aluminium is 2.7 g cm–3. Calculate the length of the edge of the unit cell of Al.

we have give that aluminium forms Fcc cubic crystal.
density = 2.7g cm-3
Mass of aluminium = 27g
number of unit cell =4 (FCC)
we have find edge length
Thus using formula

d =Z xMa3 x NAputting the value in this equation 2.7 =4 x276.023 x 1023 x a3 a3 = 4 x 27 6.023 x 10 23 x 2.7a =4.05 x 10-8

An element ‘A’ of atomic mass 100 having bcc structure has unit cell edge of 400 pm. Calculate the density of ‘A’ and the number of unit cells for 10 g of ‘A’.

length of the unit cell edge = 400Pm =400x10-10 cm
 volume of the unit cell  = ( 400 x10-10cm)3
                                 = 6.4 x 10-23 cm-3

as the element A forms a body centred  cubic lattice so no of atom per units cell is 2

z= 2 atoms unit cell

atomic mass of the element  =100 g/mol
density of element is given by

md= M xZa3 xNA d= 100 x26.4 x 10-23 x 6.023 x 10 23 = 51.88 g/cm3volume of 10 g of A = massDensity                             = 10g5.188g cm-3                           = 1.9275 cm3number of unit cell in 1.9275 cm3 volume  =volume of the substance unit cell volume                                                           = 3.0 x1022 unit cell

The cell edge of a fcc element of atomic mass 108 is 409 pm. Calculate its density.

we have given,.
mass =108 g
edge (a) = 409pm  
a3 = 6.84 x1023 cm3
Na =6.023 x10-233
Z =4

Apply formula

 d= Z xMa3 x NAd = 4 x 1086.84 x 1023 x 6.02 x10-23 = 10.98 g cm-3

density =  10.98 g cm–3

The density of KBr is 2.75 g cm–3. The length of the edge of the unit cell is 654 pm. Show that KBr has a fcc structure.

we know that

d= ZMa3NA

as given that,
density= 2.75 g cm–3
a = 654 pm or a3 = 2.79 x 10-23
mass of KBr is 119 gram



Z =2.75 x6.54 x10-23 x6.022 x1023119 =4
