An element crystallizes in a body centred cubic lattice. The edge length of the unit cell is \(200 \mathrm{pm}\) and the density of the element is \(5.0 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~cm}^{-3}\). Calculate the number of atoms in \(100 \mathrm{~g}\) of this element.

  1. A \(2.5 \times 10^{23}\)
  2. B \(2.5 \times 10^{24}\)
  3. C \(5.0 \times 10^{23}\)
  4. D \(5.0 \times 10^{24}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5.0 \times 10^{24}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\rho_{\text {unit cell }}(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})=\frac{\mathrm{Z} \times \mathrm{M} \cdot \mathrm{Mass}(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mol})}{\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}\left(\mathrm{mol}^{-1}\right) \times(\mathrm{a} \mathrm{pm})^{3} \times 10^{-30}} \quad \mathrm{Z}_{\text {B.c.c }}=2 or…
