Density= VolumeMass =11.5g/cm3
Volume(i3)= (4.06×10−8cm3)3
=6.692×10−23cm3
11.5g/cm3= 6.692×10−23cm3Massofunitcell
∴ Mass of unit cell=7.696×10−22g
Since there are 4 units per unit cell, the mass of one atom is mass of unit cell/ 4. Converting the mass of one atom to the mass of 1 mole therefore is;
4atoms7.696×10−22g = atom1.924×10−22g ×6.022×1023atoms
=115.86g/mol
The compound is thus FeCO3
