Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry - Result Question 19

####19. Specific volume of cylindrical virus particle is 6.02×102cc/g whose radius and length are 7\AA Misplaced & respectively. If NA=6.02×1023, find molecular weight of virus

[2001]

(a) 3.08×103kg/mol

(b) 3.08×104kg/mol

(c) 1.54×104kg/mol

(d) 15.4kg/mol

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (d) Specific volume (volume of 1g ) of cylindrical virus particle =6.02×102cc/g

Radius of virus (r)=7\AA=7×108cm

Length of virus =10×108cm

Volume of virus =

πr2l=227×(7×108)2×10×108

=154×1023cc

Wt. of one virus particle = volume  specific volume 

Mol. wt. of virus = Wt. of NA particle

=154×10236.02×102×6.02×1023

=15400g/mol=15.4kg/mol
