Problem

The density of totally crystalline polypropylene at room temperature is 0.946 g/cm3. Also,...

The density of totally crystalline polypropylene at room temperature is 0.946 g/cm3. Also, at room temperature the unit cell for this material is monoclinic with the following lattice parameters:

a = 0.666 nm

α = 90°

b = 2.078 nm

β = 99.62°

c = 0.650 nm

γ = 90°

If the volume of a monoclinic unit cell, Vmono, is a function of these lattice parameters as

Vmono = abc sin β

determine the number of repeat units per unit cell.
