Indium has a tetragonal unit cell for which the a and c lattice parameters are 0.459 and 0.495 nm, respectively. (a) If the atomic packing factor and atomic radius are 0.693 and 0.1625 nm, respectively, determine the number of atoms in each unit cell. (b) The atomic weight of indium is 114.82 g/mol; compute its theoretical density. (a) Enter your answer for part (a) in accordance to the question statement atoms/unit cell (b) Enter your answer for part (b) in accordance to the question statement g/cm3

Sagot :

Answer:

A) 4 atoms/unit cell

B) 7.31 g/cm^3

Explanation:

A) Determine the number of atoms in each unit cell

attached below is the detailed solution

number of atoms per unit cell ( n ) = 4 atoms/unit cell

B) Given atomic weight of indium = 114.82 g/mol

hence the theoretical density  = 7.31 g/cm^3

Attached below is a detailed solution of the question
