Given:

  • The edge length of unit cell = 408.6*10^{-12} pm = 408.6*10^{-10} cm.
  • The Atomic mass of Ag = 107.9gmol^{-1}
  • Avagadro's Number = 6.022*10^{23} atoms mol^{-1}

To Find:

  • The Density of silver.

Solution:

  • The volume of the unit cell = a^{3} = (408.6*10^{-10})^{3} = 68217388.06 * 10^{-30}
  • a^{3} = 68.21*10^{-24}  cm^{3}  
  • BCC unit cell has 2 atoms per unit cell.
  • The formula to find the mass of one Ag atom is as follows,
  • Mass of one silver atom = \frac{Molar mass of Ag}{Avagadro's Number} = \frac{107.9gmol^{-1} }{6.022*10^{23} mol^{-1} } = 17.91 * 10^{-23} g
  • We found the mass on one Ag atom above the formula of mass of unit cell requires it and the formula is,
  • Mass of unit cell = 2*17.91*10^{-23} = 35.8*10^{-23}  g
  • Density of silver = \frac{mass of unit cell}{volume of unit cell} = \frac{35.8*10^{-23}g}{68.21*10^{-24} cm^{3} } = 0.524*10^{1}gcm^{-3} = 5.2gcm^{-3}

The Density of silver(Ag) = 5.2gcm^{-3}
