Chapter 11, Problem 132AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The density of argon in $\text{g}/{\text{cm}}^{\text{3}}$ is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The relationship between mass $\left(m\right)$, volume $\left(V\right)$, and density $\left(d\right)$ of a solution isgiven as:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

Here, $m$ is the mass and $V$ is the volume of the unit cell.

The volume of a unit cell is given as follows:

$V=a^3$

Here, $a$ is the edge length of a unit cell.

Conversion factor from meter to centimeter is: $\frac{1\text{ cm}}{1\times {10}^{-2}\text{m}}$

Conversion factor from picometer to meter is: $\frac{1\times {10}^{-12}\text{m}}{1\text{ pm}}$

The conversion factor from amu to grams is: $\frac{1\text{ g}}{6.022\times {10}^{23}\text{ amu}}$
