Question

An element with density $2.8\ g\ cm^{–3}$ forms a f.c.c. unit cell with edge length $4 $\times$ 10^{–8} cm.$ Calculate the molar mass of the element.
$($Given: $N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23}\ mol^{–1})$

Answer

Given; $d = 2.8g/cm^3; Z = 4; a = 4 \times 10^{–8}$ cm $N_A= 6.022 \times 10^{23}$ per mol
$\text{d}=\frac{\text{Z}\times\text{M}}{\text{a}^{3}\times\text{N}_{A}}$ OR
$\text{M}=\frac{\text{d}\times\text{a}^{3}\times\text{N}_{A}}{\text{z}}$
$\Rightarrow$$\text{M}=\frac{\text{2.8 g cm}^{-3}\times\text{(4}\times\text{10}^{-8}\text{cm})^{3}\times\text{6.022}\times\text{10}^{23}}{\text{4}}$
$M = 2.8\times 16\times 10^{–1} \times 6.022 = 26.97$ g/mol.
