153. A metallic element exists as a cubic lattice. Each edge of the unit cell is 2.88 A°. The density of the metal is 7.20 g cm^–3. How many unit cells will be there in 100 g of the metal?

solution:
we have given a= 2.88A⁰
Density = 7.20g cm^-3
mass = 100g

Volume of the unit cell = $(2.88 A °)^{3}$
$= (2.88 \times 10^{- 8} cm)^{3} = 23.9 \times 10^{- 24} {cm}^{3}$

Volume of 100g of the metal

$= \frac{Weight}{Density} = \frac{100}{7.20} = 13.9 {cm}^{3}$

No. of unit cell in $13.9 {cm}^{3}$

$= \frac{13.9 {cm}^{3}}{23.9 \times 10^{- 24} {cm}^{3}} = 5.82 \times 10^{23} .$
