Iron exhibits bcc structure at room temperature. Above C it transforms to fcc structure. The ratio of density of iron at room temperature to that at C (assuming molar mass and atomic radii of iron remains constant with temperature) is
To solve this problem, we need to find the ratio of the density of iron in bcc structure to that in fcc structure.The density of a crystal is given by:where:• is the number of atoms per unit cell.• is the molar mass.• is the edge length of the unit cell.• is Avogadro's number.For bcc structure:For fcc structure:The relationship between the edge length and the atomic radius is:• For bcc: • For fcc: Now, let's calculate the density ratio:Density of bcc: Density of fcc: The ratio of densities is:Simplifying, we get:Substitute the values:Simplify the expression:Therefore, the correct option is Option 1:
