Unitcell of theironcrystal hasedgelengthof 288pmanddensityof 7.86 g cm^(-3). Determinte the typeof crystal lattice. Atomicmass ofFe= 56 g mol^(-1)

Answer»


Solution :Given : Edgelength =a= 288 pm `=2.88 XX 10^(-8)` cm
Densityof crystal = d= 7.86 g `cm^(-1)`
A vogadro number= 6.022 `xx10^(-23) mol^(-1)`
Atomicmass ofFe= 56 g `mol^(-1)`
Typeof crystallattice = ?
Massof one Fe atom = `(56)/(6.022 xx 10^(23)) = 9 .3 xx 10^(-23) g`
If thereare z atoms in the unitcell , then
Massof unitcell=mass ofz atoms = z `xx 9.3 xx 10^(-23) g`
Volumeof unitcell `= a^(3)= (2.88 xx 10^(-8) )^(3)`
`=23 .88 xx 10^(-24) cm^(3)`
Densityof unitcell`d= ("massof unit CELL")/("Volumeof unitcell")`
`7.86 = (z xx 9.3 xx 10^(-23))/(23. 88 xx 10^(-24))`
`:. z =(7.86 xx 23.88 xx 10^(-24))/(9.3xx 10^(-23))= 2.01 =2`
Sincethe numberof atomsin THEUNIT cellis 2,thecrystal latticemust be of bcctype.
