Answer

$1.00\,g/cm^{3}$

Work Step by Step

The bcc unit cell contains $8\times\frac{1}{8}+1=2$ Na atoms. Mass in grams of Na per unit cell= $\frac{\text{2 Na atoms}}{\text{unit cell}}\times\frac{1\,mol\,Na}{6.022\times10^{23}\,Na\,atoms}\times\frac{23.0\,g\,Na}{1\,mol\,Na}$ $=7.638658\times10^{-23}\, g$ Volume of the unit cell= $(4.24\times10^{-8}\, cm) ^{3}$ $=7.6225\times10^{-23}\, cm^{3}$ $\text{Density}= \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ $=\frac{7.638658\times10^{-23}\, g}{7.6225\times10^{-23}\, cm^{3}}=1.00\,g/cm^{3}$
