  4. D6.023×1023,60.06.023 \times 10^{23}, 60.0

Correct answer

C. 6.046×1023,51.86.046 \times 10^{23}, 51.8

Step-by-step solution

d=7.2 g cm−3,a=288pmd=7.2 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}, a=288 \mathrm{pm} and mass of element =52 g=52 \mathrm{~g} Hence, d= Mass  Volume ⇒7.2 g cm−3=52 gVV=52 g7.2 g cm−3=7.222 cm3d=\frac{\text{ Mass }}{\text{ Volume }} \Rightarrow 7.2 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}=\frac{52 \mathrm{~g}}{V} V=\frac{52 \mathrm{~g}}{7.2 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}}=7.222 \mathrm{~cm}^3 Edge of unit cell, a=288pm=288×10−12 m=288×10−10 cm=2.88×10−8 cma=288 \mathrm{pm}=288 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~m}=288 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~cm}=2.88 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~cm} Volume of unit cell, a3=(2.88×10−8 cm)3=23.888×10−24 cm3a^3=\left(2.88 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~cm}\right)^3=23.888 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~cm}^3 The number of unit cells in 52 g52 \mathrm{~g} of metal = Total volume  Volume of one unit cell =7.222 cm323.888×10−24 cm3=0.3023×1024\begin{aligned} & =\frac{\text{ Total volume }}{\text{ Volume of one unit cell }} \\ & =\frac{7.222 \mathrm{~cm}^3}{23.888 \times 10^{-24} \mathrm{~cm}^3}=0.3023 \times 10^{24}\end{aligned} Germanium has body centred cubic structure. Hence, its unit cell contains 2 atoms. ∴\therefore Total atoms in 3.023×10233.023 \times 10^{23} unit cells are 2×3.023×1023=6.046×10232 \times 3.023 \times 10^{23}=6.046 \times 10^{23} atoms Molar mass =52 g×6.022×1023 atom mol−16.046×1023 atom =\frac{52 \mathrm{~g} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \text{ atom } \mathrm{mol}^{-1}}{6.046 \times 10^{23} \text{ atom }} Hence, atomic mass =51.8=51.8
