Question
An element has a bcc structure with a unit cell edge length of 288 pm. How many unit cells and a number of atoms are present in 200 g of the element? (1.16 × 1024, 2.32 × 1024)

Solution
V = a3 = (288 × 10−10 cm)3 = 2.39 × 10−23 cm3
From the relationship:
Density = `(Z xx M)/(N_A xx a^3)`
Where:
Z = 2 (atoms per unit cell for BCC)
M = molar mass in g/mol
NA = 6.022 × 1023 mol−1
a3 = volume of unit cell in cm3
Moles = `200/M`
Number of atoms = `200/M xx N_A`
= `200/M xx 6.022 xx 10^23`
= 2.32 × 1024
M = `(200 xx 6.022 xx 10^23)/(2.32 xx 10^24)`
= 51.9 g/mol
Number of unit cells = `(2.32 xx 10^24)/2`
= 1.16 × 1024
