Ex1 A solid iron cube of side 20 mm has a mass of 63 g. The molar mass of iron is 56 g.
(a) How many iron atoms are there in the cube?
(b) Hence find the maximum volume that an iron atom could occupy in the solid state.
(c) Use your answer to (b) to estimate the diameter of the iron atom.
volume of cube
Maximum volume of one atom of iron = =1.18 × 10−29 m3
