An element crystallising in fcc lattice has a density of \(8.92 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}\) and edge length of \(3.61 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~cm}\). What is the atomic weight of element? \(\left(N=6.022 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right)\)

  1. A \(126.356 u\)
  2. B \(63.178 u\)
  3. C \(31.589 u\)
  4. D \(47.383 u\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(63.178 u\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(d=8.92 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}\) (Edge length) \(a=3.61 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~cm}\) \(M=\) ? For fcc, \(Z=4\) \(d=\frac{Z \times M}{a^3 \times N}\) \(8.92=\frac{4 \times M}{\left(3.61 \times 10^{-8}\right)^3 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}}\)…
