The number of carbon atoms in the unit cell of polyethylene is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given figure is,
Figure (1)
The density of crystalline polyethylene
From above figure,
The lattice parameter
The lattice parameter
The lattice parameter
Formula used:
The equation for density of poly-ethylene is given by,
Here,
The hydrogen atoms are twice in number as that of carbon atoms.
Substitute
Here,
Calculation:
The molecular mass of carbon is
The molecular mass of hydrogen is
The value of Avogadro’s number is
Substitute
Since
Conclusion:
