An ionic compound crystallizes in a rock salt type structure. The sum of the ionic radii of the cation and the anion is . If the density of the crystal is , the molar mass of the ionic compound is ________ .
(Given: )
(Given: )
Correct answer
60
Step-by-step solution
For a rock salt (FCC) structure, the edge length is related to the sum of the cationic and anionic radii by:
Given that :
The number of formula units per unit cell for a rock salt structure is .
The density is given by:
Rearranging for molar mass :
Substituting the given values:
The molar mass of the ionic compound is .
