(B) The density $ho$ is given by the formula: $ho = \frac{Z 	imes M}{a^3 	imes N_A}$For $NaCl$ (fcc structure),the number of formula units per unit cell $Z = 4$.The molar mass $M = 58.5 \ g/mol$.The edge length $a = 0.564 \ nm = 0.564 	imes 10^{-7} \ cm = 5.64 	imes 10^{-8} \ cm$.Avogadro's number $N_A = 6.022 	imes 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.Substituting the values:$ho = \frac{4 	imes 58.5}{(5.64 	imes 10^{-8})^3 	imes 6.022 	imes 10^{23}}$$ho = \frac{234}{179.42 	imes 10^{-24} 	imes 6.022 	imes 10^{23}}$$ho = \frac{234}{108.04} \approx 2.16 \ g/cm^3$.
