Nickel, Ni, has a face-centered cubic structure(Figure 1) with an edge length of 352 pm. What is the density of this metal? Use the periodic table as needed.
The structure of face centered cubic unit cell is shown as below:
Now from this we can easily count the no of Ni atoms per unit
cell:
The atoms at the corner contributes 1/8 and the atoms centered at
the face contributes 1/2
The no. of Ni atoms per unit cell = (8 x 1/8) + (6 x 1/2)
= 4 atoms per unit cell
Now molar mass of Ni = 58.693 g/mol
In 1 mol we have = 6.023 x 1023 atoms/ mol.
Mass of 1 atom of Ni = (58.693 g/ mol)/ 6.023 x 1023
atoms/ mol
= 58.693/ 6.023 x 1023 g/ atom
Mass of 4 atoms of Ni = 4 x (58.693/ 6.023 x 1023 g/
atom)
Now volume of 1 unit cell = (352 pm)3 = (3.52 x
10-8 cm)3.
Density = mass/ volume
= [4 x (58.693/ 6.023 x 1023 g/ atom)]/
(3.52 x 10-8 cm)3
= 8.94 g/cm3
