Answer:
7.38 g/cm³ is the density of the metal
Explanation:
In a Face-centered cubic unit cell you have 4 atoms. Also, the edge length is √8×r (r is radius of the atom).
To solve this problem, we need first to calculate the volume of the unit cell and then, with molar mass calculate the mass of 4 atoms. As density is the ratio between mass and volume we can obtain this value.
Volume = a³
a = √8×r
(r = 198x10⁻¹²m)
a = 5.6x10⁻¹⁰ m
Volume = 1.756x10⁻²⁸ m³
1m = 100cm → 1m³ = (100cm)³:
1.756x10⁻²⁸ m³× ((100cm)³ / 1m³) =
There are 4 atoms of gold:
4 atoms × (1mol / 6.022x10²³ atoms) = 6.64x10⁻²⁴ moles of gold
As 1 mole weighs 195.08g:
6.64x10⁻²⁴ moles of gold × (195.08g / mol) =
1.296x10⁻²¹g / 1.756x10⁻²² cm³ =
The density of the metal is 7.40 g/cm³
In cubic crystal system, face-centered cubic FFC is the name given to sort of atom arrangement observed in which structure is made up of atoms organized in a cube with a portion of an atom in each corner and six extra atoms in the center of each cube face.
It is expressed by using the formula:
[tex]\mathbf{\rho = \dfrac{Z \times M}{N_A\times a^}}[/tex]
where;
For face-centered cubic FFC;
The edge length [tex]\mathbf{a =2 \sqrt{2}\times r }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{a =2 \sqrt{2}\times 198 \ pm }[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{a =560.0285 \ pm }[/tex]
a = 5.60 × 10⁻⁸ cm
Replacing it into the previous equation, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{\rho = \dfrac{4 \times 195.8}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times( 5.60 \times 10^{-8} )^3}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{\rho = 7.40\ g/cm^3 }[/tex]
