Iron and vanadium both have the BCC crystal structure, and V forms a substitutional solid solution for all concentrations at room temperature. Compute the unit cell edge length for a 40 wt% Fe - 60 wt% V alloy. The room-temperature density and atomic weight of Fe are 7.87 g/cm3 and 55.85 g/mol, the room-temperature density and atomic weight of V are 6.10 g/cm3 and 50.94 g/mol, respectively.

We have that the edge length  is mathematically given as

a=2.96929427×10^{−8}cm

The unit cell edge length

Question Parameters:

the unit cell edge length for a 40 wt% Fe - 60 wt% V alloy.

The room-temperature density and atomic weight of Fe are 7.87 g/cm3 and 55.85 g/mol,

the room-temperature density and atomic weight of V are 6.10 g/cm3 and 50.94 g/mol, respectively.

Generally the equation for the Avg Density  is mathematically given as

[tex]Pavg=\frac{100}{(Cv/pv)+(Cfe/pFe)}[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]Pavg=\frac{100}{(60/6.10)+(40/7.87)}[/tex]

Pavg=6.70301g/cm^3

Generally the equation for the atomic weight  is mathematically given as

[tex]Aavg=\frac{100}{(Cv/Av)+(Cfe/AFe)}[/tex]

Therefore

Aavg=100/(60/50.94)+(40/55.85)

Pavg=52.796g/mol

Hence the unit cell is[tex]Vc=\frac{nA}{PNa}\\\\Therefore\\\\Vc=\frac{2*52.796}{6.7*6.02e23}[/tex]

Vc=nA/PNa}

Therefore

Vc=2*52.796/6.7*6.02e23

Vc=2.6179402*10^{−23}cm*3 unit cells

The unit of cell edge is

a=Vc^{1/3}

a=(2.6179402*10^{−23})^{1/3}

a=2.96929427×10^{−8}cm
