Solution

The correct option is A 68.3×1024 cm3
Silver crystallises in face-centred cubic unit cell.
For face-centred cubic unit, Z=4.
Density, ρ=Z×MNA×V
where,
Z is number of atoms in unit cell
NA is avagadro number
M is molar mass of element
V is volume of unit cell

V=Z×MNA×ρ
V=4×108(6.023×1023)×10.5=6.83×1023
V=68.3×1024 cm3
