Use the equation d=m/v
your mass or "m" is 78 g
your volume or "v" is 60mL
if you plug those values into the equation it will look like this:
d=78/60
d=1.3g/mL should be what you come up with
Answer is 0.289nm.
Explanation: The wt % of Fe and wt % of V is given for a Fe-V alloy.
wt % of Fe in Fe-V alloy = 85%
wt % of V in Fe-V alloy = 15%
We need to calculate edge length of the unit cell having bcc structure.
Using density formula,

For calculating edge length,

For calculating
, we use the formula

Similarly for calculating
, we use the formula

From the periodic table, masses of the two elements can be written


Specific density of both the elements are

Putting
and
formula's in edge length formula, we get

By calculating, we get

This question requires the knowledge of density.
The density of ethyl alcohol = 789 kg m⁻³
The density of water = 1000 kg m⁻³
Density = Mass / Volume
By applying ethyl alcohol,
789 kg m⁻³ = Mass / 0.9 m³
Mass = 710.1 kg
hence the mass of 0.9 m³ ethyl alcohol is 710.1 kg.
Then by applying water,
1000 kg m⁻³ = 710.1 kg / Volume
Volume = 0.7101 m³
= 0.7 m³
hence the equal water volume is 0.7 m³
