Answer:

Correct Answer: 7. (a)

Solution:

  1. Density of a crystal

d=M×ZNA×a3M=d×NA×a3Z

Given, d=9×103kgm3

M= Molar mass of the solid Z=4( for fcc crystal )NA= Avogadro’s constant =6×1023mol1a= Edge length of the unit cell =2002pm=2002×1012m

On substituting all the given values, we get

=(9×103)kgm3×(6×1023)mol1×(2002×1012)3m34=0.0305kgmol1
