Mass = 300g

Density = 7.5g cm-3

Edge = 500pm

Volume of unit cell = (500)^{3}

                              = 1.25\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}

Volume of 300g = \frac{mass}{density} = \frac{300}{7.5}=40cm^{3}

No. of unit cell in 40cm3 = \frac{40}{1.25\times 10^{-22}}= 32\times 10^{22} unit cells

Total number of atoms in 300g = 2\times 32\times 10^{22}= 64\times 10^{22}atoms
