236. Potassium crystallises in a simple cubic unit cell. It has an atomic mass of 209 and its density is 91.5 g m^–3. What is the edge length of its unit cell?

we have given,
Mass= 209 g
Number of atom per unit cell =1 (Simple cubic)
density =91.5 g m^-3N_A=6.023 x10²³
edge length of unit cell =?

By applying formula

$density = \frac{Mass x Number of atom per unit cell}{volume of unit cell x avogadro' s number} d = \frac{M x Z}{a^{3} x N_{A}} 91.5 = \frac{209 x 1}{a^{3} x 6.023 x 10^{23}} a^{3} = \frac{209 x 1}{91.5 x 6.023 x 10^{23}}$

a= 15.59 x10^-8 cm
