Answer to Problem 11.88QE

The spacing between the layers in crystal of KI is 3.526×1010m.

Explanation of Solution

Wavelength of X-ray is given as 1.790×1010m.  The angle of diffraction is given as 14.7 degrees.

Bragg equation can be used to determine the spacing between the layers.  Bragg equation is given as shown below;

    d=nλ2sinθ        (1)

Where,

    n is given as 1.

    d is the distance between layers.

    λ is the wavelength of X-ray.

    θ is the angle of diffraction.

Substituting the values in equation (1), the spacing between the layers can be calculated as shown below;

    d=1×1.790×1010m2(sin14.7°)=1.790×1010m2(0.2538)=3.526×1010m

Therefore, the spacing between layers is 3.526×1010m.

Answer to Problem 11.88QE

Density of potassium iodide is 3.144g/cm3.

Explanation of Solution

The crystal is of KI.  The spacing between the layers is 3.526×1010m.  The edge length of the cube is given as twice of the length of spacing between the layers.  Therefore, the edge length is calculated as follows;

    Edgelength=2×3.526×1010m=7.052×1010m

The unit cell of potassium iodide is face centered cubic cell.  Therefore, there are eight corners and thus one atom is shared by eight other unit cells that are present.  One atom is present at the center of each face of the cell.  Therefore, the total number of atoms present is calculated as shown below;

    6faces×1atom2faces+8corners×1atom8corners = 4atoms

The volume of the cubic cell can be calculated using the edge length.  This can be done as shown below;

    Volume=(edgelength)3=(7.052×1010m)3=350.70×1030m3

Volume of cubic cell can be converted into centimeters as shown below using conversion factors;

    350.70×1030m3=350.70×1030m3×100cm31m3=3.507×1022cm3

Molar mass of KI is 166.00g/mol.  Avogadro’s number is 6.022×1023atoms.  Therefore, the mass of KI can be calculated as shown below;

    Massofcrystal=numberofatoms×1Avogadro'snumber×molarmass= 4×16.022×1023atoms×166.00g/mol= 110.26×10-23g

Therefore, mass of KI crystal is 110.26×10-23g.

Density of the potassium iodide crystal can be calculated using the density formula as follows;

    Density=MassVolume=110.26×10-23g3.507×1022cm3=31.44×101g/cm3=3.144g/cm3

Thus, density of potassium iodide is calculated as 3.144g/cm3.
