Chapter 12, Problem 12.99P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The number of atoms in each unit cell is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Crystal structure or lattice is the three-dimensional representation of atoms and molecules arranged in a particular manner. The unit cell is the smallest part of the lattice that is repeated in all directions to yield the crystal lattice. There are 3 types of cubic unit cells as follows:

1. The simple cubic unit cell

2. Body-centered unit cell

3. Face-centered unit cell

In the cubic unit cell, atom at the corner is shared by 8 adjacent cells so the contribution of an atom at the corner is 18, atom at the face is shared by 2 adjacent cells so the contribution of an atom at the face is 12 and atom at the body center is shared by 1 cell so the contribution of an atom at the body center is 1. The number of atoms present in a simple cubic, a body-centered cubic, and a face-centered cubic unit cell are 1, 2 and 4 respectively.

Answer to Problem 12.99P

The number of atoms in each unit cell is 4.

Explanation of Solution

Atom adopts face-centered cubic unit arrangement.

Face-centered cubic unit cell, 8 atoms are present at the corners of the cell and 6 atoms at the face of the cell. The contribution of an atom present at the corner is 18 and the contribution of an atom at the face of a cell is 12. Therefore the number of silver atoms in the face-centered cubic unit cell is calculated as follows:

Number of atoms=(18atom per cell)(8atoms)+(12atom per cell)(6atom)=1atom+3atoms=4atoms

Conclusion

The number of atoms in each unit cell is 4.

(b)

Answer to Problem 12.99P

The volume of a unit cell is 9.23×1023cm3.

Explanation of Solution

The formula to calculate the volume of the unit cell is as follows:

Volumeofunitcell=(edge length of unit cell)3 (1)

Substitute 4.52×108cm for edge length of the unit cell in the equation (1).

Volumeofunitcell=(4.52×108cm)3=9.23454×1023cm39.23×1023cm3

Conclusion

The volume of a unit cell is 9.23×1023cm3.

(c)

Answer to Problem 12.99P

The mass of a unit cell is 1.34×1022g.

Explanation of Solution

The formula to calculate the mass of the unit cell is as follows:

Mass ofunit cell=(Volume of unit cell)(Densityof solid) (3)

Substitute 9.23454×1023cm3 for the volume of the unit cell and 1.45g/cm3 for the density of solid in the equation (3).

Mass ofunit cell=(9.23454×1023cm3)(1.45g/cm3)=1.3390×1022g1.34×1022g

Conclusion

The mass of a unit cell is 1.34×1022g.

Answer to Problem 12.99P

The approximate atomic mass for the element is 20.2amu/atom.

Explanation of Solution

One unit cell consists of 4 atoms.

The formula to calculate the mass of an atom is as follows:

Massofatom=(massofunitcell)(1unitcell4atoms) (4)

Substitute 1.3390×1022g for the mass of the unit cell in the equation (4).

Massofatom=(1.3390×1022g1unitcell)(1kg1000g)(1.66054×1024 g1amu)(1unitcell4atoms)=20.1592amu/atom20.2amu/atom

Conclusion

The approximate atomic mass for the element is 20.2amu/atom.
