To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for the density of a crystal lattice.The density of a crystal is given by:Where:• g cm is the density of copper.• is the number of atoms per unit cell for an fcc lattice.• is the molar mass of copper, which we need to find.• cm is the edge length of the unit cell.• mol is Avogadro's number.Rearrange the formula to solve for Substitute the known values:Calculate cmSubstitute into the equation for Simplify the expression: g molCalculate the numerator:Divide by 4: g molTherefore, the atomic mass of copper is approximately u, which corresponds to Option 1.
