BCC lithium has a lattice parameter of 3.5089x10^-8cm and contains one vacancy per 200unit cells.Calcuate (a)the number of vacancies percubic centimeter; and(b)the density of Li.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) The number of vacancies percubic centimeter is [tex]1.1573\times 10^{20} vacancy/cm^3[/tex].

b) The density of Lithium is [tex]1.076 g/cm^3[/tex].

Explanation:

Edge length of the lithium unit cell = a = [tex]3.5089\times 10^{-8} cm[/tex]

Volume of the unit cell = V

[tex]V=a^3=(3.5089\times 10^{-8} cm)^3=4.3203\times 10^{-23} cm^3[/tex]

The lithium crystal has one vacancy per 200unit cells.

[tex]\frac{1}{200} vacancy/unit cell=0.005[/tex] vacancy/unit cell

The number of vacancies percubic centimeter:

[tex]\frac{0.005}{V}=\frac{0.005 vacancy}{4.3203\times 10^{-23} cm^3}[/tex]

[tex]=1.1573\times 10^{20} vacancy/cm^3[/tex]

The number of vacancies percubic centimeter is [tex]1.1573\times 10^{20} vacancy/cm^3[/tex].

b)

Atomic mass of lithium = 7 g/mol

Number of atom in a unit cell = z = 2

Volume of the unit cell = V

[tex]\rho =\frac{z\times M}{N_A\times V}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{4\times 7g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}\times 4.3203\times 10^{-23} cm^3}=1.076 g/cm^3[/tex]

The density of Lithium is [tex]1.076 g/cm^3[/tex].
