FCC lead has a lattice parameter of 0.4949 nm and contains one vacancy per 500 Pb atoms. Calculate (a) the density; and (b) the number of vacancies per gram of Pb.

Respuesta :

Explanation:

(a)   Number of atoms present in FCC are 4 atoms. Hence, number of atoms present in the given cell are as follows.

       No. of atoms/cell = [tex]4 \times \frac{499}{500}[/tex]

                                     = 4

Density will be calculated as follows.

          Density = [tex]\frac{ZM}{Na^{3}}[/tex]

                = [tex]\frac{4 \times 207}{6.023 \times 10^{23}} \times (0.4949 \times 10^{-7})^{3}[/tex]

                        = 11.34 [tex]g/cm^{3}[/tex]

Therefore, density of the given substance is 11.34 [tex]g/cm^{3}[/tex].

(b)   Now, there is 1 vacancy present for every 500 lead (Pb) atoms. Therefore, 500 Pb atoms occupied by four lattice points is as follows.

           [tex]\frac{500}{4}[/tex]

            = 125 unit cells

 [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{125}}{(0.4949 \times 10^{-7})^{3}} \times \frac{1}{11.34 g/cm^{3}}[/tex]

             = [tex]5.82 \times 10^{18}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that number of vacancies present per gram are [tex]5.82 \times 10^{18}[/tex].

A) The density of lead is : 11.33 g/cm³

B) The number of vacancies per gram of Pb : 5.8246 * 10¹⁸  vacancies

Given data :

Lattice parameter = 0.4949 nm

contains one ( 1 ) vacancy per 500 Pb atoms

A) Calculate the Density of lead atoms

First step : Determine the number of lead atoms per unit cell

number of lead atoms per unit cell

= ( number of Pb - vacancy ) / number of Pb  * 4 sites ---- ( 1 )

= ( 500 - 1 ) / 500  * 4  = 3.992

Next step : Calculate the density of lead atoms

p = ( number of lead atoms per unit * Z ) / L³p * Na ----- ( 2 )

where ; Z ( atomic mass of Pb ) = 207.19 g/mol, Lp ( lattice number ) = 0.4949 *10⁻⁷ cm,  Na ( avogadro's constant ) = 6.022* 10²³ atoms/mol

Insert values into equation ( 2 )

p(density of lead atoms )   = 11.331 g/cm³

B) The number of vacancies per gram of Pb

Nv  = ( number of vacancies per unit ) / L³p * p  ----- ( 3 )

where ; number of vacancies per unit = 4/500 ,  Lp = 0.4949 *10⁻⁷ cm

              p = 11.331 g/cm³

Insert values into equation ( 3 )

Nv = 5.8246 * 10¹⁸  vacancies

Hence we can conclude that The density of lead is : 11.33 g/cm³ and The number of vacancies per gram of Pb : 5.8246 * 10¹⁸  vacancies.
