Q12 / 77 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Solid State

Which of the following expression is correct for packing fraction of NaCl if a- ions from one face and one diagonal are removed?

  • Correct answer
    A
    133πr-3+163πr+38(r++r-)3
  • B
    133πr-3+43πr+38(r++r-)3
  • C
    163πr-3+133πr+38(r++r-)3
  • D
    43πr-3+133πr+38(r++r-)3

Solution

Effective number of remaining Cl-=4-2×18+12=134
Effective number of Na+=4
Packing fraction =Occupied volumeTotal volume
=134×43πr-3+4×43πr+38(r++r-)3
133πr-3+163πr+38(r++r-)3

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