Metals with bcc structures, such as tungsten, are not close packed. Therefore, their densities would be greater

Question:

Metals with bcc structures, such as tungsten, are not close packed. Therefore, their densities would be greater if they were to change to a ccp structure (under pressure, for instance). What would the density of tungsten be if its structure were ccp rather than bcc? Its actual density is 19.3 g · cm–3.
