How to Calculate and Solve for Number of Atoms per Unit Volume in Metals | Imperfection in Solids
Last Updated on January 13, 2023
The image above represents number of atoms per unit volume in metals.
To compute for number of atoms per unit volume in metals, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Avogadro’s Number (NA), Density of the Metal (ρ) and Area of the Metal (A).
The formula for calculating the number of atoms per unit volume in metals:
N = (NA)ρ/A
Where:
N = Number of Atoms per Unit Volume in Metals
NA = Avogadro’s Number
ρ = Density of the Metal
A = Area of the Metal (in g/mol)
Given an example;
Find the number of atoms per unit volume in metals when the avogadro’s number is 6.023E23, the density of the metal is 10 and the area of the metal is 4.
This implies that ;
NA = Avogadro’s Number = 6.023E23
ρ = Density of the Metal = 10
A = Area of the Metal = 4
N = (NA)ρ/A
N = (6.023e+23)(10)/(4)
N = (6.023e+24)/4
N = 1.50575e+24
Therefore, the number of atoms per unit volume in metals is 1.50575e+24.
Calculating the Density of the Metal when the Number of Atoms per Unit Volume in Metals, the Avogadro’s Number and the Area of the Metal is Given.
ρ = N x A / NA
Where:
ρ = Density of the Metal
N = Number of Atoms per Unit Volume in Metals
NA = Avogadro’s Number
A = Area of the Metal
Let’s solve an example;
Find the density of the metal when the number of atoms per unit volume in metals is 15, the avogadro’s number is 6.023e+24 and the area of the metal is 10.
This implies that;
N = Number of Atoms per Unit Volume in Metals = 15
NA = Avogadro’s Number = 6.023e+24
A = Area of the Metal = 10
ρ = N x A / NA
ρ = 15 x 10 / 6.023e+24
ρ = 150 / 6.023e+24
ρ = 2.49e-23
Therefore, the density of the metal is 2.49e-23.
Calculating the Area of the Metal when the Number of Atoms per Unit Volume in Metals, the Avogadro’s Number and the Density of the Metal is Given.
A = NA x ρ / N
Where:
A = Area of the Metal
N = Number of Atoms per Unit Volume in Metals
NA = Avogadro’s Number
ρ = Density of the Metal
Given an example;
Find the area of the metal when the number of atoms per unit volume in metals is 20, the avogadro’s number is 6.023e+24 and the density of the metal is 12.
This implies that;
N = Number of Atoms per Unit Volume in Metals = 20
NA = Avogadro’s Number = 6.023e+24
ρ = Density of the Metal = 12
A = NA x ρ / N
A = 6.023e+24 x 12 / 20
A = 7.227e+25 / 20
A = 3.613e-24
Therefore, the area of the metal is 3.613e-24.
