MCQ Questions for Class 12 Engineering Chemistry The Solid State Quiz 1

If A is the molecular mass of an element, a is the edge length and

$N$ is the Avogadro's number, then the density for simple cubic lattice is :

0%
$\displaystyle\frac{2A}{Na^3}$
0%
$\displaystyle\frac{4A}{Na^3}$
0%
$\displaystyle\frac{A}{Na^3}$
0%
$\displaystyle\frac{A}{Na^2}$

Explanation

$\text{Density}$

$=$

$\dfrac{\text{Number of molecules present in lattice (Z)} \times \text{Mass of each molecule (m)}}{\text{Volume of lattice (V)}}$

In simple lattice, each lattice has one molecule and mass of each molecule is

$\dfrac{\text{Molar mass (A)}}{\text{Avogadro's number (N)}}$

For simple cubic lattice,

$Z = 1$

Hence,

$\text{density} = \dfrac{Z\times A}{N\times a^{3}}=\dfrac{A}{N\times a^3}$ , where

$a$ is the edge length.

An element A (atomic weight

$= 100$ amu) having bcc structure has unit cell edge length of

$400$ pm. Calculate the density of A.

0%
$2.59$ g cm $^{-3}$
0%
$5.188$ g cm $^{-3}$
0%
$10.37$ g cm $^{-3}$
0%
None of the above

Explanation

$density = \dfrac{zM}{N_o \times (a \times 10^{-10})^3}$

for bcc structure z= 2

$d = \dfrac{2 \times 100}{6 \times 10^{23} \times (400 \times 10^{-10})^3}$

$d= 5.188 \text{ g cm}^{-3}$

Hence, the correct option is

$\text{B}$

Which of the following is a non-crystalline solid?

0%
$CsCl$
0%
$NaCl$
0%
$CaF_{2}$
0%

Explanation

$CsCl$ ,

$NaCl$ and

$CaF_2$ are crystalline solids whereas glass is an amorphous solid as it does not has well developed perfectly ordered crystalline structure. Other amorphous solids include tar, rubber, plastic, butter etc.

The lattice parameters,

$\alpha=\gamma=90^{\circ},\,\beta\neq 90^{\circ}$ represents a :

0%
tetragonal system
0%

The axial distances and the axial angles,

$a\neq b\neq c$ and

$\alpha=\gamma=90^{\circ},\,\beta\neq 90^{\circ}$ represents a monoclinic system.

None of the edge lengths is equal to each other.

Two of the angles are equal to each other and equal to

$90^0$ . One of the angles is not equal to

$90^0$ .

Which metal among the followings has the highest packing efficiency?

0%
Iron
0%
Tungsten
0%
Aluminium
0%
Polonium

Explanation

The packing efficiency is the fraction of volume in a crystal structure that is occupied by constituent particles (volume of space occupied by the spheres/total volume). The majority of metals take on either the hcp or bcc structure. Among the given metals

$Al$

occupies hexagonal close-packed (hcp) is having 0.74 packing efficiency and other metals form body-centered cubic (bcc) which has 0.68 packing efficiency.
Thus, Aluminium has the highest packing efficiency in comparison to Iron, Tungsten and Polonium.
Hence (C) is correct answer.

The unit cell in a body centred cubic lattice is given in the figure. Each sphere has a radius,

$r$ and the cube has a side,

$a$ .
What fraction of the total cube volume of empty?

0%
$1 - \dfrac {8}{3} \pi \dfrac {r^{3}}{a^{3}}$
0%
$\dfrac {4}{3}\cdot \pi \dfrac {r^{3}}{a^{3}}$
0%
$\dfrac {r}{a}$
0%
$2 - \dfrac {4}{3} \pi \dfrac {r^{3}}{a^{3}}$

Explanation

$Z_{eff}$ of BCC=

$2$

Volume occupied by atoms=

$2\times \cfrac {4}{3}\pi r^3$

Volume of unit cell=

$a^3$

Packing fraction=

$\cfrac {8}{3}\pi \cfrac {r^3}{a^3}$

Fraction of empty unit cell=

$1-\cfrac {8}{3}\pi \cfrac{r^3}{a^3}$

Answer: (A)

$1-\cfrac {8}{3}\pi \cfrac{r^3}{a^3}$

The closest-packing sequence

$ABC\ ABC .....$ represents:

0%

Explanation

The closest-packing sequence

$ABAB.....$ represents hexagonal packing.
The closest-packing sequence

$AAAA.....$ represents primitive cubic packing.
The closest-packing sequence

$ABCABC.....$ (with spheres of the third layer placed into octahedral voids) represents face-centered cubic packing.

Hence, option

$C$ is correct.

0%
15 mL
0%
20 mL
0%
25 mL
0%
30 mL

Mark the incorrect pair from the following.

0%
Schottky defect- Equal number of cation and anions are missing.
0%
Frenkel defect- Dislocation of cation from its normal site to interstitial site.
0%
Impurity defect- $CdCl_2$ in $AgCl$ crystal to create cationic vacancy.
0%

Explanation

${ Fe }_{ 0.93 }O$ , some of

${ Fe }^{ 2+ }$ ions are absent from

$FeO$ and some of

${ Fe }^{ 3+ }$ are present.

So, it is due to metal deficiency defect.

Hence, option "D" is the correct answer.

0%
(A) $\rightarrow$ (iii), (B) $\rightarrow$ (i), (C) $\rightarrow$ (ii)

Explanation

For simple cubic structure, packing efficiency is 52% (iii)

For

$fcc$ , packing efficiency = 74%(ii)

For

$bcc$ , packing efficiency = 68%.(i)

So, correct answer is option A.

Potassium has a bcc structure wit nearest neighbour distance

$4.52A^0$ , its atomic weight is

$39$ . Its density (in kg

$m^{-1}$ ) will be:

0%
$454$
0%
$804$
0%
$852$
0%
$908$

Explanation

For b.c.c,

$d = \dfrac{{\sqrt 3 a}}{2}$

$a = \dfrac{{2d}}{{\sqrt 3 }}$

$a=\dfrac{{2 \times 4.52}}{{1.732}}$

$a=5.219{A^ \circ } = 522\,pm$

Hence,

$\rho = \dfrac{{z \times M}}{{{a^3} \times {N_A} \times {{10}^{ - 30}}}}$

Implies that

$\rho=\dfrac{{2 \times 39}}{{{{(522)}^3} \times 6.023 \times {{10}^{23}} \times {{10}^{ - 30}}}}$

$\rho=0.91g/c{m^3}$

$\rho=910kg{m^{ - 3}}$

A solid

$X^+Y^-$ has a bcc structure. If the distance of closest approach between the two atoms is

$173$ pm, the edge length of the cell is:

0%
$200$ pm
0%
$\sqrt{3}/\sqrt{2}$ pm
0%
$142.2$ pm
0%
$\sqrt{2}$ pm

Explanation

For BCC lattice

$r=0.433a$

Lattice is half of the body diagonal , that is

$\dfrac{\sqrt{3}a}{2}=173\ pm$

Thus

$a=\dfrac{173\times2}{\sqrt{3}}$

$=\dfrac{173\times2}{1.73}$

$=200\ pm$

Sodium crystallizes in the cubic lattice and the edge of the unit cell is

$430 pm$ . Calculate no of atoms in the unit cell.

$cm^{-3}$ .]

0%
4
0%
3
0%
2
0%
5

Explanation

$\rho=0.9623$

$gcm^{-3}$

$M_{Na}=23$

$amu$

$a=4.3 \mathring A$

$Z=?$

$\rho=\cfrac{Z\times M_A}{N_A\times a^3}$

$\implies 0.9623=\cfrac{Z\times 23}{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 79.5\times 10^{-24}}$

$\implies Z=2$

The atomic radius of metal crystallizing in fcc structure true is

$1.25A^o$ . Hence the volume occupied by atoms in cell crystal is:

0%
$3.27\times 10^{-23}cm^3$
0%
$2.68\times 10^{-22}cm^3$

Explanation

For

$FCC$ unit cell

$4r = \sqrt2\times a$ or

$a = 2\sqrt2\times r = 3.5A^o$

Volume

$= a^3 = (3.5\times 10^{-10})^3 = 4.078\times 10^{-22}cm^3$

$= \dfrac{1}{58.5}$

$n$ of molecular =

$6.022 \times 10^{23} \times \dfrac{1}{58.5}$

$\therefore n$ of unit cells =

$= \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}}{4 \times 58.5}$

$= \dfrac{602.2 \times 10^{21}}{234}$

$= 2.57 \times 10^{21}$
