Since ZnS has a face-centered cubic structure,  it contains 4 sphere
so Z=(6x(1/2))+(8x(1/8)) = 4.

Density id given by = mass/volume
mass=zxm
volume=Na x a³

So, density=(z x m)÷(Na x a³)

where
a=500 pm = 5x10^-8 cm
M = 63+35.5 = 98.5
Na= 6.023×10^23

the density of CuCl is as follows
=[{(63+35.5)×4}÷{(6.023×10^23)×(5×10^-8)³}] g/cc
=[394÷(752.875x10^-1)]
=0.523327x10 g/cc
=5.23 g/cc

If u still have any doubt please ask in comment section or just DM

Heya..

Here is your answer...

ZnS has a FCC structure , so the value of Z = 4.
Molar mass of CuCl = 63.5 + 35.5 = 99 g
Density = 3.4 g cm-3

It may help you...☺☺
