Correct answer: 10.85TO11.1

  1. Identify the crystal type

For a cubic close packed structure, the lattice is face-centered cubic (fcc).

So, number of atoms per unit cell: Z=4Z = 4Z=4

  1. Use density formula

Density of a unit cell is given by: ρ=Z⋅MNA⋅a3\rho = \frac{Z \cdot M}{N_A \cdot a^3}ρ=NA​⋅a3Z⋅M​ where:

  • Z=4Z = 4Z=4
  • M=105.6 g mol−1M = 105.6\,\text{g mol}^{-1}M=105.6g mol−1
  • NA=6×1023 mol−1N_A = 6 \times 10^{23}\,\text{mol}^{-1}NA​=6×1023mol−1
  • a=400 pma = 400\,\text{pm}a=400pm
  1. Convert edge length into cm

Since: 1 pm=10−10 cm1\,\text{pm} = 10^{-10}\,\text{cm}1pm=10−10cm therefore, a=400 pm=400×10−10 cm=4×10−8 cma = 400\,\text{pm} = 400 \times 10^{-10}\,\text{cm} = 4 \times 10^{-8}\,\text{cm}a=400pm=400×10−10cm=4×10−8cm

  1. Calculate unit cell volume

a3=(4×10−8)3=64×10−24=6.4×10−23 cm3a^3 = (4 \times 10^{-8})^3 = 64 \times 10^{-24} = 6.4 \times 10^{-23}\,\text{cm}^3a3=(4×10−8)3=64×10−24=6.4×10−23cm3

  1. Calculate mass of one unit cell

Mass of unit cell=Z⋅MNA=4×105.66×1023\text{Mass of unit cell} = \frac{Z \cdot M}{N_A} = \frac{4 \times 105.6}{6 \times 10^{23}}Mass of unit cell=NA​Z⋅M​=6×10234×105.6​

=422.46×1023=70.4×10−23=7.04×10−22 g= \frac{422.4}{6 \times 10^{23}} = 70.4 \times 10^{-23} = 7.04 \times 10^{-22}\,\text{g}=6×1023422.4​=70.4×10−23=7.04×10−22g

  1. Compute density

ρ=7.04×10−226.4×10−23\rho = \frac{7.04 \times 10^{-22}}{6.4 \times 10^{-23}}ρ=6.4×10−237.04×10−22​

ρ=11 g cm−3\rho = 11\,\text{g cm}^{-3}ρ=11g cm−3

  1. Final answer

11\boxed{11}11​

  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer range is 10.8510.8510.85 to 11.111.111.1.

Our calculated answer 111111 lies within this range, so it agrees.
