Solution

The correct option is (B)

The density of a cubic lattice can be calculated by using given formula

d=n×Ma3×NA

where d=d=d= density

n=n=n= number of atom present in lattice

a=a=a= edge length of lattice

M=M=M= mass of substance

NA=N_A=NA= avagdaro number

For FCC lattice

n=4n=4n=4

a=290pm=290×10−10cma=290pm=290\times 10^{-10}cma=290pm=290×1010cm

d=6.8g/cm3d=6.8g/cm^3d=6.8g/cm3

M=a3×d×NAZM=\frac{a^3\times d \times N_A}{Z}M=Za3×d×NA

M=6.8×(290×10−10)3×6.023×10234M=\frac{6.8\times(290\times 10^{-10})^3\times 6.023\times 10^{23}}{4}M=46.8×(290×1010)3×6.023×1023

M=24.9M=24.9M=24.9

Number of atoms present =6.023×1023×40824.9=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 408}{24.9}=24.96.023×1023×408

Number of atoms present =98.6×1023=98.6\times 10^{23}=98.6×1023 atoms

The number of atoms present in 408g of the element is 98.6×1024atoms98.6\times 10^{24}atoms98.6×1024atoms .
