An element with density 6 g cm-3 forms a fcc lattice with edge length of 4 x 10-8 cm. The molar mass of the element is (NA = 6 x 1023 mol-1) :(A) 57.6 g mol-1(B) 28.8 g mol-1(C) 82.6 g mol-1(D) 62 g mol-1

Answer»

Option : (A) 57.6 g mol-1

We know that,

Number of atoms per unit cell of FCC = 4

Z = 4

We have given -

d = 6g/cm3,

a = edge length = 4 x 10-8 cm

NA = 6 x 1023

d = \(\frac{ZM}{a^3N_A}\) 

M = molar mass of element.

∴ 6g/cm3\(\frac{4\times M}{(4\times 10^{-8})^3cm^3\times 6\times 10^{23}mol^{-1}}\)

⇒ 6 x (64 x 10-24) x 6 x 1023 = 4M

⇒ M = \(\frac{6\times 6\times 64\times 10^{-1}}{4}g/mol\) 

∴ M = 57.6 g/mol.
