In orthorhombic , the value of a, b and c are respectively `4.2Å, 8.6 Å and 8.3Å` .Given the molecular mass of the solur is `155 gm mol^(-1)` and that of density is `3.3 gm//cc` the number of formula unit per unit cell is

Options

A. `2`
B. `3`
C. `4`
D. `6`

Answer

c

Explanation

`Z= (Y xx N_(0) xx d)/(M)`
`= (4.2 xx 8.6 xx 5.3 xx 10^(-24) xx 6.025 xx 10^(25) xx 3.3)/(155)`
`= 3.84 = 4`
