Solid State Question 265

Question: The number of unit cells in 58.5 g of NaCl is nearly

Options:

A) $ 6\times 10^{20} $

B) $ 1.5\times 10^{23} $

C) $ 3\times 10^{22} $

D) $ 0.5\times 10^{24} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] 58.5 g $ NaCl=1mol=6.02\times 10^{23}N{{a}^{+}}C{{l}^{-}} $ units One unit cell contains $ 4N{{a}^{+}}C{{l}^{-}} $ units. Hence number of unit cell present $ =\frac{6.02\times 10^{23}}{4}=1.5\times 10^{23} $
