Detailed Solution

Here, z=4,a=400pm=4×108cm,M=40
As we know that d=ZMa3NA
d=4×404×1083×6.022×1023=16064×1024×6.022×1023=16064×101×6.022=16038.5408=4.15144.15gcm3
40g contains NA atoms
4 g will  contain NA×440 atoms
(FCC = 4 unit cells)
So, number of unit cell
=6.022×1023×440×14=6.022×10224=1.50×1022 unit cell
