Q.
Silver forms ccp lattice and X-ray studies of its crystals show that the edge length of its unit cell is 408.6pm The density of silver (Atomic mass =107.9u) is
Since the lattice is ccp the number of silver atoms per unit cell =Z=4
Molar mass of silver =107.9gmol−1=107.9×10−3kgmol−1
Edge length of unit cell =a=408.6pm=408.6×10−12m
Density, d=a3⋅NAZ.M =(408.6×10−12m)3(6.022×1023mol−1)4×(107.9×10−3kgmol−1) =10.5×103kgm−3=10.5gcm−3
