9. In the crystal structure of CsCl, the distance between Cs+ and Cl is equal to 3.55 Å (0.355 nm). Calculate density of CsCl (in g/cm3 ).

Solutions

Expert Solution

We know density , d = (Z x atomic mass) / ( No x a3 x 10-30 cm3 )   

Where Z = No . of atoms in a unit cell = 1                                     Since it is a simple cubic structure   

           atomic mass of CsCl = 168.36 g

           No = avagadro number = 6.023x1023

           a = edge length = 0.355 nm = 0.355x10-9 m = 355x10-12 m = 355 pm

Plug the values we get d = (Z x atomic mass) / ( No x a3 x 10-30 cm3 )   

                                     = (1 x 168.36) / ( 6.023x1023 x 3553 x 10-30 cm3 )   

                                    = 6.25 g/cm3

Therefore the density of CsCl is 6.25 g/cm3
