The radius of atom is of the order of 1 Å and the radius of nucleus is of the order of fermi. How many magnitudes higher is the volume of atom as compared to the volume of nucleus?

उत्तर
Radius of atom = 1 Å = 10–10 m
Radius of nucleus = 1 fermi = 10–15 m
Volume of atom = VA = `4/3 πR_A^3`
Volume of atom = `4/3 πR_A^3`
Volume of nucleus VN = `4/3 πR_N^3`
`V_A/V_N = (4/3 πR_A^3)/(4/3 πR_N^3)`
= `(R_A/R_N)^3`
= `(10^-10/10^-15)^3`
= 1015

There are two beautiful lakes near a village. People come for boating and picnics in both the lakes. The village Panchayat is worried that with the noise of the boats the birds will stop coming. The Panchayat wants motorboats in only one lake. The other lake will be saved for the birds to make their nests.

- How many kilometers long is the actual boundary of lake A?

In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1 mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 mL of alcohol. Then 1 mL of this solution is diluted to 20 mL by adding alcohol. Now 1 drop of this diluted solution is placed on water in a shallow trough. The solution spreads over the surface of water forming one molecule thick layer. Now, lycopodium powder is sprinkled evenly over the film and its diameter is measured. Knowing the volume of the drop and area of the film we can calculate the thickness of the film which will give us the size of oleic acid molecule.
Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:
- Why do we dissolve oleic acid in alcohol?
- What is the role of lycopodium powder?
- What would be the volume of oleic acid in each mL of solution prepared?
- How will you calculate the volume of n drops of this solution of oleic acid?
- What will be the volume of oleic acid in one drop of this solution?
