Solution

Step 1: Number of atoms of gold

The molecular mass of Gold (Au)=197gms

Number of atoms of Gold

Au=WeightofGoldMolecularmassofGold×NAAu=197197×NAAu=NA

Step 2: Total number of voids

In CCP, there are 2ntetrahedral void and n Octahedral void

So, the total number of voids of Gold (Au)=2n+n

=3n=3NA

Therefore the total number of voids present in 197gms of Gold (Au) is 3NA.
