The equation to be used is written as:

ρ = nA/VcNₐ
where
ρ is the density
n is the number of atoms in unit cell (for FCC, n=4)
A is the atomic weight
Vc is the volume of the cubic cell which is equal to a³, such that a is the side length (for FCC, a = 4r/√2, where r is the radis)\
Nₐ is Avogradro's constant equal to 6.022×10²³ atoms/mol

r = 0.1387 nm*(10⁻⁹ m/nm)*(100 cm/1m) = 1.387×10⁻⁸ cm
a = 4(1.387×10⁻⁸ cm)/√2 = 3.923×10⁻⁸ cm
V = a³ = (3.923×10⁻⁸ cm)³ = 6.0376×10⁻²³ cm³

ρ = [(4 atoms)(195.08 g/mol)]/[(6.0376×10⁻²³ cm³)(6.022×10²³ atoms/mol)]
ρ = 21.46 g/cm³

21.46 g/cm³

Further explanation

The problem of this calculation is the main part of the subject about the structure of crystalline solids.

This problem asks that we calculate the theoretical density of platinum (Pt).

The general formula of theoretical density is $\boxed{ \ \rho = \frac{(number \ of \ atoms/unit \ cell)(atomic \ mass)}{(volume \ of \ unit \ cell)(Avogadro's \ number)} \ }$

by using symbols, i.e.,

$\boxed{ \ \rho = \frac{(n)(A)}{(V_C)(N_A)}\ }$

Given data:

The atomic radius of 0.1387 nm, so $\boxed{R = 0.1387 \ nm \times \Big( \frac{10^{-9} \ m}{1 \ nm} \Big) \times \Big( \frac{10^2 \ cm}{1 \ m} \Big)}$

Thus, $\boxed{ \ R = 0.1387 \times 10^{-7} \ cm \ = 1.387 \times 10^{-8} \ cm \ }$

The atomic weight of 195.08 g/mol

Since platinum has the FCC crystal structure, n = 4 atoms, and $\boxed{ \ V_C = (2R \sqrt{2})^3 \ }$

Let's calculate the volume of unit cells.

$\boxed{ \ V_C = (2(1.387 \times 10^{-8}) \sqrt{2})^3 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ V_C = (1.387 \times 10^{-8})^3 \times 16\sqrt{2} \ }$

$\boxed{ \ V_C = 6.038 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3 \ }$

Substitute all data into the general formula.

$\boxed{ \ \rho = \frac{(4 \ atoms/unit \ cell)(195.08 \ g/mol)}{(6.038 \times 10^{-23} \ cm^3/unit \ cell)(6.023 \times 10^{23} \ atoms/mol)} \ }$

Thus, the theoretical density of platinum is 21.46 g/cm³ (rounded to 2 decimal places).

Answer from: Quest

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.

The coulomb's law explains which of the following? select all the force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the charge on each object. the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the charge on each object. the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the distance separating them. the force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance separat coulomb's law is similar to newton's 2nd law. if the force between two objects is f and the charge on both objects is doubled, the new force between the would now be 2f. if the force between two objects is 2f and the distance separating them is doubled, the new force between the objects would now o the be zf.
