    How many unit cells are present in a cube shaped ideal crystal of NaCI of mass 2.00 g?

    A) \[2.57\times {{10}^{21}}\]

    B) \[5.14\times {{10}^{21}}\]

    C) \[1.28\times {{10}^{21}}\]

    D) \[1.81\times {{10}^{21}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b]
    The molecular mass of NaCl \[=23+35.5=58.5g\]
    58.5 g of NaCl contains \[=6.023\times {{10}^{23}}\] molecules
    1 g of NaCl contains \[=\frac{6.023\times {{10}^{23}}}{58.5}\]
    \[=1.02\times {{10}^{22}}\] molecules
    and 2 g of NaCl contains \[=\frac{6.023\times {{10}^{23}}\times 2}{58.5}\]
    \[=2.05\times {{10}^{22}}\] molecules
    Now, each unit cell of a face centered cubic unit cell contains 4 molecules of NaCl.
    \[\therefore \] Number of unit cells present in \[2g=\frac{2.05\times {{10}^{22}}}{4}\]
    \[=5.14\times {{10}^{21}}\] unit cells of NaCl
