Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { Density }(\rho)=\frac{M \times n}{a^3 \times N_A}\)
\(\mathrm{n}=\frac{\rho \times \mathrm{a}^3 \times \mathrm{N}_A}{\mathrm{M}}=\) \(\frac{8.6 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3} \times 21.5 \mathrm{~cm}^3 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}{92 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}=2\)
