    How many unit cells are present in a cube shaped ideal crystal of \[NaCl\] of mass \[1.00\]g? [At. masses Na \[=23,\,\,Cl=35.5\]]     AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2003

    A) \[2.57\times {{10}^{21}}\]     

    B) \[5.14\times {{10}^{21}}\]                           

    C) \[1.28\times {{10}^{21}}\]                           

    D) \[1.71\times {{10}^{21}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (i) NaCI contains FCC unit cell therefore the unit cell of the crystal will be FCC of unit cell. Find the mass by the formula mass = volume \[\times \] density. (ii) Calculate the number of unit cell presents in one gram of crystal. Mass of one unit-cell (m) = volume \[\times \] density                     \[={{a}^{3}}\times d={{a}^{3}}\times \frac{Mz}{{{N}_{0}}{{a}^{3}}}=\frac{Mz}{{{N}_{0}}}\]                     \[m=\frac{58.5\times 4}{6.02\times {{10}^{23}}}g\] \[\therefore \] Number of unit cells in 1 g \[=\frac{1}{m}\]                 \[=\frac{6.02\times {{10}^{23}}}{58.5\times 4}=2.57\times {{10}^{21}}\]
