Question

An element has a body-centred cubic (bcc) structure with a cell edge of 288 pm. The density of the element is 7.2 g cm3. How many atoms are present in 208 g of the element ?

Solution

Molar mass of element
Given:

Cell edge, a=288×1010cm, density of
copper, d=7.2 g cm3

In case of bcc lattice, number of atoms per
unit cell, z=2

We know that NA=6.022×1023mol1
Therfore, M=dNAa3z

By putting the values, we get,
M=7.2 g cm3×6.022×1023mol1×(288×1010cm)22

Number of atoms

Given:

Mass of element m=208 g

We know that,

Number of mole=mass(m)molar mass(M) =number of atomsNA

By putting the values, we get
number of atoms6.022×1023mol1=208g×27.2 g cm3×6.022×1023mol1×(288×1010cm)2=24.19×1023atoms

Number of atoms present in 208 g of the element24.19×1023atoms

Final answer: Number of atoms present in
208 g of the element is 24.19×1023.
