What is the volume of one particle in $BCC$ structure if '$a$' is edge length?
A
$\frac{\pi a^3}{3 \sqrt{2}}$
B
$\frac{\pi a^3}{12 \sqrt{2}}$
C
$\frac{\sqrt{3} \pi a^3}{16}$
D
$\frac{\sqrt{3} \pi a^3}{8}$

Solution

(C) For $BCC$ unit cell,the relation between radius $r$ and edge length $a$ is $r = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a$.
The volume of one spherical particle is given by $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$.
Substituting the value of $r$:
$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a \right)^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi \left( \frac{3 \sqrt{3} a^3}{64} \right) = \frac{\sqrt{3} \pi a^3}{16}$.

The unit cell of an element has an edge length of $5 \mathring{A}$ and a density of $4 \ g \ cm^{-3}$. If its atomic mass is $149 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,identify the crystal structure.
A
Simple cubic
B
Body-centred cubic
C
Face-centred cubic
D
Hexagonal close-packed

Solution

(B) The density formula is given by $\rho = \frac{n \times M}{a^3 \times N_A}$.
Rearranging for the number of atoms per unit cell $(n)$: $n = \frac{\rho \times N_A \times a^3}{M}$.
Given: $\rho = 4 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,$M = 149 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,$a = 5 \mathring{A} = 5 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$,and $N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $n = \frac{4 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times (5 \times 10^{-8})^3}{149}$.
$n = \frac{4 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 125 \times 10^{-24}}{149} = \frac{301.1}{149} \approx 2.02$.
Since $n \approx 2$,the crystal structure is Body-centred cubic $(BCC)$.

B
$2.2 \times 10^{21}$
C
$3.3 \times 10^{21}$
D
$4.4 \times 10^{21}$

Solution

The product of density $(\rho)$ and volume of the unit cell $(V = a^3)$ is given as $\rho \times a^3 = 1.2 \times 10^{-22} \ g$.
The number of unit cells is calculated by dividing the total mass of the metal by the mass of one unit cell.
$\text{Number of unit cells} = \frac{\text{Total mass}}{\text{Mass of one unit cell}} = \frac{m}{\rho \times a^3}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{0.4 \ g}{1.2 \times 10^{-22} \ g} = 3.33 \times 10^{21}$.
Therefore,the number of unit cells is $3.3 \times 10^{21}$.

Solution

(A) For a simple cubic structure, the number of atoms per unit cell, $Z = 1$.
The edge length $a = 336 \ pm = 3.36 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
The molar mass $M$ can be calculated from the given data: $2.64 \times 10^{23}$ atoms have a mass of $90 \ g$. Therefore, $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms (Avogadro's number, $N_A$) have a mass $M = \frac{90 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}}{2.64 \times 10^{23}} \approx 205.3 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Using the density formula $d = \frac{Z \times M}{a^3 \times N_A}$:
$d = \frac{1 \times 205.3}{(3.36 \times 10^{-8})^3 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx 8.98 \ g \ cm^{-3}$.

Solution

(A) For a simple cubic unit cell, the number of atoms per unit cell, $Z = 1$.
The volume of one unit cell, $V = a^3 = (336 \times 10^{-10} \ cm)^3 = 3.793 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3$.

Solution

(D) The formula for density is $d = \frac{Z \times M}{a^3 \times N_A}$.
Given: $d = 7.2 \ g \ cm^{-3}$, $a = 288 \ pm = 2.88 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$, $M = 52 \ g \ mol^{-1}$, $N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values:
$7.2 = \frac{Z \times 52}{(2.88 \times 10^{-8})^3 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}}$
$7.2 = \frac{Z \times 52}{23.887 \times 10^{-24} \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}}$
$7.2 = \frac{Z \times 52}{14.385}$
$Z = \frac{7.2 \times 14.385}{52} \approx 1.991 \approx 2$.
Since the number of atoms per unit cell $Z = 2$, the crystal has a body-centered cubic $(BCC)$ structure.

Solution

(A) For a simple cubic unit cell, the number of atoms per unit cell $(z)$ $= 1$.
Edge length $(a)$ $= 336 \ pm = 3.36 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
Density $(d)$ $= \frac{z \times M}{a^3 \times N_A}$, where $M$ is the molar mass and $N_A$ is Avogadro's number $(6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1})$.

B
$21.1 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
C
$48.0 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
D

Solution

(D) For a $BCC$ structure, the number of atoms per unit cell is $Z = 2$.
The formula for density is $d = \frac{Z \cdot M}{N_A \cdot a^3}$.
Given: $d = 10 \ g \ cm^{-3}$, $a = 200 \ pm = 200 \times 10^{-10} \ cm = 2 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$, and $N_A \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
Substituting the values: $10 = \frac{2 \times M}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times (2 \times 10^{-8})^3}$.
$10 = \frac{2 \times M}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 8 \times 10^{-24}}$.
$10 = \frac{2 \times M}{4.8176}$.
$M = \frac{10 \times 4.8176}{2} = 24.088 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

Solution

(D) The atomic mass of potassium $(K)$ is $39 \ g/mol$.
Number of moles of potassium $= \frac{3.9 \ g}{39 \ g/mol} = 0.1 \ mol$.
Number of atoms $= \text{moles} \times N_{A} = 0.1 \ N_{A}$.
In a $BCC$ unit cell,the number of atoms per unit cell $(n)$ is $2$.

Solution

(C) Given: Molar mass $M = 180 \ g \ mol^{-1}$,Density $\rho = 18 \ g \ cm^{-3}$,Avogadro constant $N_A \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23} \ mol^{-1}$.
For a $BCC$ crystal,the number of atoms per unit cell $z = 2$.
The formula for density is $\rho = \frac{M \times z}{a^3 \times N_A}$.
Rearranging for the edge length $a$: $a^3 = \frac{M \times z}{\rho \times N_A}$.
Substituting the values: $a^3 = \frac{180 \times 2}{18 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}} \approx \frac{360}{108.396 \times 10^{23}} \approx 3.32 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3$.
To match the format,we write $a^3 = 33.2 \times 10^{-24} \ cm^3$.
Therefore,$a = \sqrt[3]{33.2} \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.

Therefore,the relationship between the edge length $a$ and the atomic radius $r$ is $a = 2r$.
Given $a = 3.86 \ \mathring{A}$.
$r = \frac{a}{2} = \frac{3.86 \ \mathring{A}}{2} = 1.93 \ \mathring{A}$.

(A) Given: Edge length $a = 500 \ pm = 500 \times 10^{-10} \ cm = 5 \times 10^{-8} \ cm$.
Density $d = 4 \ g \ cm^{-3}$.
For $BCC$ structure, the number of atoms per unit cell $Z = 2$.
The formula for density is $d = \frac{Z \times M}{N_A \times a^3}$.
Rearranging for molar mass $M$: $M = \frac{d \times N_A \times a^3}{Z}$.
Substituting the values: $M = \frac{4 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times (5 \times 10^{-8})^3}{2}$.
$M = \frac{4 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 125 \times 10^{-24}}{2}$.
$M = 2 \times 6.022 \times 125 \times 10^{-1} = 150.55 \ g \ mol^{-1} \approx 150 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.

What is the atomic radius of polonium if it crystallises in a simple cubic structure with edge length of unit cell $336 \ pm$ (in $pm$)?
A
$84$
B
$168$
C
$234$
D
$336$

Solution

(B) For a simple cubic structure, the relationship between the edge length $(a)$ and the atomic radius $(r)$ is given by the formula: $a = 2r$.
Given that the edge length $a = 336 \ pm$.
Substituting the value into the formula: $336 \ pm = 2r$.
Therefore, $r = \frac{336 \ pm}{2} = 168 \ pm$.
