A metallic element has a cubic lattice. Each edge of the unit cell is 2 A . and the density of metal is 25 g cm 3 . The unit cell in 200 g of metal are
Options
- A1 × 10 24
- B1 × 10 22
- C1 × 10 20
- D1 × 10 25
Correct answer
A. 1 × 10 24
Step-by-step solution
Edge length of the unit cell = 2 A . = 2 × 10 - 8   cm Volume of unit cell = 2 × 10 - 8 3 = 8 × 10 - 24   cm 3 Mass of one unit cell = volume × density = 8 × 10 - 24 × 25 Number of unit cell in 200   g of metal =  mass of the metal   mass of one unit cell  = 200 8 × 10 - 24 × 25 = 1 × 10 24
