    From the given information, it is possible to determine the atomic mass of an unknown metal. By knowing the density of the metal and dimensions of its unit cell from X-ray diffraction, the volume and mass of the unit cell can be calculated. The mass of a single atom can then be determined, which provides an accurate method to calculate the atomic mass without knowing the value of Avogadro's constant. The density of the unit cell is set equal to the mass of the unit cell divided by its volume, allowing for an equation to be derived and solved for the atomic mass.

    http://www.TutorBreeze.com Answers to NCERT/CBSE Chemistry (Class XII)textbook 1.5 How can you determine the atomic mass of an unknown metal if you know its density and the dimension of its unit cell? Explain.

    From the unit cell dimensions, it is possible to calculate the volume of the unit cell. Knowing the density of the metal, we can calculate the mass of the atoms in the unit cell. The determination of the mass of a single atom gives an accurate method of determination of Avogadro constant.

    Suppose, edge length of a unit cell of a cubic crystal determined by X-ray diffraction is a, d the density of the solid substance and M the molar mass.

    In case of cubic crystal: Volume of a unit cell = a3 Mass of the unit cell = number of atoms in unit cell mass of each atom = z m (Here z is the number of atoms present in one unit cell and m is the mass of a single atom) Mass of an atom present in the unit cell: mM = NA (M is molar mass) Therefore, density of the unit cell = mass of unit cell / volume of unit cell z.m/a3 z = zM / a.NA.

    Or

    d= zM / a.NA.
