Thenumberof moleculesina unit cell,zIn the case of cubic crystal we can use the equatior222(h? + k? + 1?)0sinhkl4aAnd from a we can calculate the volume of a unit cell, Vif the density, p, of the crystals are known, the mass of theunit cell, M, can also be calculated:MP=VFrom a knowledge of the molecular mass, the number ofmolecules in the unit cell can be calculated
