Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Identify the given values and the formula for density.

    The atomic mass (MM) of the element is 100 g/mol100 \, \text{g/mol}.
    The unit cell edge length (aa) is 400 pm400 \, \text{pm}.
    The crystal structure is Body-Centered Cubic (BCC), for which the number of atoms per unit cell (ZZ) is 2.
    Avogadro's number (NAN_A) is 6.022×1023 mol−16.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{mol}^{-1}.

    The formula for the density (ρ\rho) of a unit cell is:

    ρ=Z×Ma3×NA\rho = \frac{Z \times M}{a^3 \times N_A}
  2. Convert the unit cell edge length from picometers (pm) to centimeters (cm).

    1 pm=10−10 cm1 \, \text{pm} = 10^{-10} \, \text{cm}

    a=400 pm=400×10−10 cm=4×10−8 cma = 400 \, \text{pm} = 400 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{cm} = 4 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{cm}
  3. Calculate the volume of the unit cell (a3a^3).

    a3=(4×10−8 cm)3=43×(10−8)3 cm3=64×10−24 cm3a^3 = (4 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{cm})^3 = 4^3 \times (10^{-8})^3 \, \text{cm}^3 = 64 \times 10^{-24} \, \text{cm}^3
  4. Substitute the values into the density formula and calculate.

    ρ=2×100 g/mol(64×10−24 cm3)×(6.022×1023 mol−1)\rho = \frac{2 \times 100 \, \text{g/mol}}{(64 \times 10^{-24} \, \text{cm}^3) \times (6.022 \times 10^{23} \, \text{mol}^{-1})} ρ=200 g64×6.022×10−24+23 cm3\rho = \frac{200 \, \text{g}}{64 \times 6.022 \times 10^{-24+23} \, \text{cm}^3} ρ=200 g64×6.022×10−1 cm3\rho = \frac{200 \, \text{g}}{64 \times 6.022 \times 10^{-1} \, \text{cm}^3} ρ=200 g385.408×10−1 cm3\rho = \frac{200 \, \text{g}}{385.408 \times 10^{-1} \, \text{cm}^3} ρ=200 g38.5408 cm3\rho = \frac{200 \, \text{g}}{38.5408 \, \text{cm}^3} ρ≈5.188 g/cm3\rho \approx 5.188 \, \text{g/cm}^3
  5. Compare the calculated density with the given options.

    The calculated density is 5.188 g/cm35.188 \, \text{g/cm}^3, which matches option (c).

    The final answer is c) 5.188 g/cm3\text{c) } 5.188 \, \text{g/cm}^3.
