    A metal has fcc lattice. The edge length of the unit cell is 404 pm. The density of the metal is \[2.72\text{ }g\text{ }c{{m}^{-3}}.\] The molar mass of the metal is: (\[{{N}_{A}}\] Avogadro's constant \[=6.02\times {{10}^{23}}mo{{l}^{-1}}\])

    A) \[30g \text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    B) \[27g mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[20g mo{{l}^{-1}}\] 

    D) \[40g mo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Density is given by \[d=\frac{Z\times M}{{{N}_{A}}{{a}^{3}}};\] where Z = number of formula units present in unit cell, which is 4 for fcc a = edge length of unit cell. M= Molecular mass \[2.72=\frac{4\times M}{6.02\times {{10}^{23}}\times {{\left( 404\times {{10}^{-10}} \right)}^{3}}}\] \[(\therefore 1 pm={{10}^{-10}}cm)\] \[M=\frac{2.72\times 6.02\times {{(404)}^{3}}}{4\times {{10}^{7}}}\] \[=26.99=27\text{ }gm\,mol{{e}^{-1}}\]
