d(Cr) = 8,96 g/cm3

M(Cr) = 63,546 g/mol



In a cell face centred cubic, there are 4 atoms of Cur . . . !

n(Cr in 1 cm3) = m(Cu) / M(Cr)
n(Cr in 1 cm3) = 8,96 / 63,546
n(Cr in 1 cm3) = 0,141 mol of Cr


Avogadro's number is : NA = 6,02•10^23 mol^-1


N(Cr) = n(Cu) x NA
N(Cr) = 0,141 x 6,02•10^23
N(Cr) = 8,488•10^22 atoms of Cr

N(cell) = N(Cu) / 4
N(cell) = 8,488•10^22 / 4
N(cell) = 2,122•10^22 cells in 1 cm3
