Answer #1

1 ) density ( d ) = Z M / NA a3

Z = number of formula unit ( in fluorite structure z = 4 )

Molar mass = 123.2 gm / mol

lattice parameter ( a ) = 5.26 x 10–8 cm

density ( d ) = ( 4 x 123.2 gm / mol )/ ( 6 x 1023 mol  x 5.263 x 10-24 cm3 ) = 5.64 gm / cm3

2 ) % site occupied = 5.25 gm cm-3 x 100 / 5.64 gm cm-3 = 93.085%

% porous space = 100 — 93.085 = 6.92 %
