The pyknometric density of sodium chloride crystal is 2.165 x 103 kg m-3 while its X-ray density is 2.178 x 103 kg m-3. The fraction of the unoccupied sites in sodium chloride crytal is?
First density = 2.165 * 103
Difference of density = 2178-2165 = 13 kg/m3
Therefore,
fraction of unoccupied site = 13/2178 = 5.96 * 10-3
