- D 65 u
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
d = Z M N A ( a ) 3
Z = 4(FCC), d = 8.92 g cm _ 3 , N A = 6.023 _ 10 23 , a = 3.608 _ 10 _ 8 cm
M = d N A ( a ) 3 Z
= 8.92 _ 6.023 _ 10 23 _ ( 3.608 _ 10 _ 8 ) 3 4
= 8.92 _ 6.023 _ 10 23 _ 46.97 _ 10 _ 24 4 = 2523.47 _ 10 _ 1 4
= 630.8 _ 10 _ 1 = 63.08 _ 63.1 u
