Question

Silver crystallises in fcc lattice. If edge length of the cell is 4.07 × 10−8 cm and density is 10.5 g cm−3, calculate the atomic mass of silver.

Solution

It is given that the edge length, a = 4.077 × 10−8 cm

Density, d = 10.5 g cm−3

As the lattice is fcc type, the number of atoms per unit cell, z = 4

We also know that, NA = 6.022 × 1023 mol−1

Using the relation:

= 107.13 gmol−1

Therefore, atomic mass of silver = 107.13 u
