The unit cell volume of the crystal is and the density of titanium is calculated as 4.71g/cm^3 while the literature value is 4.5 g/cm^3
Data;
- radius = 0.1445 nm
- c/a = 1.58
- A = 46.88 g/mol
The unit cell volume can be calculated as
let's substitute the values into the formula
The unit cell volume of the crystal is
The density of titanium can be calculated as
- n = 6 for hcp
- A = 46.88 g/mol
- Na = Avogadro's number
let's substitute the values into the formula
The density of titanium is calculated as 4.71g/cm^3 while the literature value is 4.5 g/cm^3
