Potassium crystallizes in a body centred cubic lattice. How many unit cells are present in 2g potassium ? (At. Mass of K=39)

Answer» A bcc unit cell has 2 lattice points per unit cell
`therefore` Moles of potassium =`2/39`
Number of atoms of K=`(2xx6.022xx10^23)/39`
Number of unit cells=`(2xx6.022xx10^23)/(39xx2)=1.54xx10^22`
