What is the theoretical density of bcc chromium (cr)? note that the atomic radius is 0.125 nm and the atomic weight is 52.0 g/mol.



Answer :

The theoretical density of BCC chromium is , 2.48g/cm³

ρ = [tex]\frac{N * M }{N_{A} * a^{3} }[/tex]

where

ρ  = density of unit cell

a = edge length of unit cell

M = Atomic mass

Z = no. of atoms in unit cell

[tex]N_{A}[/tex] = Avogadro's number

(given)

Z = 2 (BCC)

M = 52.0 g/mol

atomic radius = 0.125 nm

edge length of unit cell is a

r = 0.866a (BCC unit cell)

a = 0.125nm/0.866 = 0.144×10⁻⁷cm

1nm = 10⁻⁷cm

using above values

ρ = 2× 52.0 / (6.022×10²³mol⁻¹ )×(0.144×10⁻⁷cm)³

ρ =   2.48g/cm³

The theoretical density of BCC chromium is , 2.48g/cm³
