Homework Statement
55.847 grams of iron contain NA=6.02E23 atoms. the density is ρ=7.87 [gr/cm3]. What is the diameter of the iron atom
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The volume of 55.847 grams is: $$\frac{55.847}{7.87}=7.1[cm^3]$$
I assume the NA number of atoms is arranged in a cube with an edge consisting of $$\sqrt[3]{6.02\times 10^{23}}\cong 84,436,877$$
The diameter: $$\frac{0.071}{84,436,877}=8.4\times 10^{-8}$$
The right answer is d=2.8E-10
