In a crystalline solid, atoms of element P form a ccp lattice. Atoms of element Q occupy of the tetrahedral voids and atoms of element R occupy of the octahedral voids. If the molar masses of P, Q, and R are , , and respectively, the mass percentage of P in the compound is _______. (Nearest integer)
Correct answer
30
Step-by-step solution
Let the number of atoms of element P in the ccp lattice be .
The number of tetrahedral voids is and the number of octahedral voids is .
Number of Q atoms =
Number of R atoms =
The ratio of the number of atoms of P, Q, and R is:
P : Q : R =
Multiplying by to get whole numbers, the ratio is .
The empirical formula of the compound is .
Molar mass of the empirical formula =
Mass percentage of P =
