Q28 / 164 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Solid State

How many unit cells are present in a cube shaped ideal crystal of NaCl of mass 1.00 g ?

Atomic mass:Na=23, Cl=35.5

  • Correct answer
    A
    2.57×1021
  • B
    5.14×1021
  • C
    1.28×1021
  • D
    1.71×1021

Solution

Mass of one unit-cell (m)= volume × density

  =a3×d=a3×MZN0a3=MZN0

   m=58.5 ×46.02×1023 g

∴ Number of unit cells in 1 g =1m

  =6.02×102358.5×4

   =2.57×1021

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