BCC lithium has a lattice parameter of 3.5089 3 10–8 cm and contains one vacancy per 200 unit cells. Calculate (a) the number of vacancies per cubic centimeter; and (b) the density of Li.

(a) The number of vacancies per cubic centimeter is 1.157 X 10²⁰

(b) ρ = n X (AM) / v X Nₐ

Explanation:

Given-

Lattice parameter of Li  = 3.5089 X 10⁻⁸ cm

1 vacancy per 200 unit cells

Vacancy per cell = 1/200

(a)

Number of vacancies per cubic cm = ?

Vacancies/cm³ = vacancy per cell / (lattice parameter)³

Vacancies/cm³ = 1 / 200 X (3.5089 X 10⁻⁸cm)³

Vacancies/cm³ = 1.157 X 10²⁰

Therefore, the number of vacancies per cubic centimeter is 1.157 X 10²⁰

(b)

Density is represented by ρ

ρ = n X (AM) / v X Nₐ

where,

Nₐ = Avogadro number

AM = atomic mass

n = number of atoms

v = volume of unit cell
