Solution


Density = Z "\\times" "\\frac {M}{N}" "\\times{l^3}"


Z is effective number of atoms for Molybdenum (Mo). = 2 .


M is Molar mass of Mo = 95.95 g/ mol.


N = 6.02 × 1023.


L is edgelength in Cm .


d = 10.3 g / "cm^3."


M = 95.95 g/ mol.


N = "6.02 \u00d7 10^{23}"


Make L subject of the formula


L = 3.16 × 10-8 Cm.
