Question
Our professor gave us an equation to solve for an unknown X metal.But whenever we solve it, we dont get a valid AMU that applies.Heres the equation, and below it will be how we solved:
You are given a small bar of an unknown metal X. You find thedensity of the metal is 10.5 g/cm^3. Another experiment tells youthe edge-length of the face centered cubic unit cell of thismetal has length of 4.08x10^-10 m. What is the identity of themetal?
We start with: 10.5g ( 1x10^-24)(6.02x10^23amu)( 1A )(4.09x10^-10m) = and we get 25.852 cm^3 ( 1A )( 1 g )(1x10^-10m)
then when we plug it into the density, it doesntwork. Please help. Thanks.
