Solution
If the edge length of the cubic unit cell is ‘a’, then the volume of the unit cell is a3.
Suppose that mass of one particle is 'm’ and that there are ‘n’ particles per unit cell.
∴ Mass of unit cell = m × n ...(1)
The density of unit cell (ρ), which is same as density of the substance is given by:
`rho = "Mass of unit cell"/"Volume of unit cell" = ("m" xx "n")/"a"^3` = Density of substance …(2)
Molar mass (M) of the substance is given by:
M = mass of one particle × number of particles per mole
= m × NA (NA is Avogadro number)
Therefore, m = `"M"/"N"_"A"` ...(3)
Combining equations (1) and (3), gives
`rho = "n M"/("a"^3 "N"_"A")` ...(4)
