Copper metal has a face-centered cubic structure with all atoms at lattice points and a density of 8.93 g/cm^3. The edge length of the unit cell is 361.5 pm. Calculate the mass of 1 atom of copper.

Respuesta :

The mass of 1 atom of copper metal in the given face-centered cubic structure is determined as  1.054 x 10⁻²² g.

Mass of 1 atom of copper

The mass of 1 atom of copper is calculated as follows;

mass of 1 atom of copper = molar mass of copper / Avogadro's number

substitute the value of molar mass of copper and Avogadro's number;

mass of 1 atom of copper = (63.5 g/mol) / (6.023 x 10²³)

mass of 1 atom of copper = 1.054 x 10⁻²² g

Thus, the mass of 1 atom of copper is determined as  1.054 x 10⁻²² g.
