Question
Q. Ice crystallises in a hexagonal lattice having the volume of a unit cell as 132x10^-24. If the density is 0.92g/cm^3 at a give temp., Then the number of H2O molecules per unit cell is:-
Options:
1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4
--------------------------------------
According to the solution, the value of Z has been found. But we know that Z is the number of atoms, which is 4 for hcp. Then how come Z is taken as number of 'molecules' of H2O ??
