Q1 / 125 · BITSAT 2018 · Chemistry

A metallic element has a cubic lattice. Each edge of the unit cell is 2 A. and the density of metal is 25 g cm3. The unit cell in 200 g of metal are

  • Correct answer
    A
    1×1024
  • B
    1×1022
  • C
    1×1020
  • D
    1×1025

Solution

Edge length of the unit cell =2A.=2×10-8 cm

Volume of unit cell =2×10-83=8×10-24 cm3

Mass of one unit cell = volume × density

=8×10-24×25

Number of unit cell in 200 g of metal

= mass of the metal  mass of one unit cell 

=2008×10-24×25=1×1024

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
