An element crystallizes in a structure having afcc unit cell of an edge 200 pm. If 200 g of this element contains 24×1023atoms then its density is
A
41.66gcm−3
B
313.9cm−3
C
8.117gcm−3
D
400gcm−3
Answer
41.66gcm−3
Explanation
Solution
Molar mass of the element
=24×1023200=6.023×1023
=50.19gmol−1
For fcc, Z = 4, V=a3=(200×10−10)3
d=NA×VZ×M=6.023×1023×(200×10−10)34×50.19
