Q26 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (11 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

An atomic substance A of molar mass 12 g mol–1 has a cubic crystal structure with edge length of 300 pm. The no. of atoms present in one unit cell of A is

(Nearest integer)

Given the density of A is 3.0 g m m-1 and NAA=6.02×1023 mol-1

Correct answer: 4

Solution

The density of crystal can be calculated as follows,

ρ=Z×MNA×a3

ρ=density of the unit cell

Z=Effective atomic number

M=Molar mass

NA=Avogadro's number

a=Edge length of the unit cell

3=Z×126.02×1023×(3)3×10-24

Z=6.02×10-1×274=4

Hence, the correct answer is 4.
