                    Specific volume of cylindrical virus particle is \[6.02\times {{10}^{-2}}\,cc/g\] whose radius and length are \[7\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] and \[10\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] respectively. If \[{{N}_{A}}=6.02\,\times {{10}^{23}}\] find molecular weight of virus:                                                     

    A)                 15.4 kg/mol       

    B)                 \[1.54\times {{10}^{4}}\,kg/mol\]

    C)                 \[3.08\times {{10}^{4}}\,kg/mol\]

    D)                 \[3.08\times {{10}^{3}}kg\,/mol\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Specific volume (volume of 1 g) cylindrical virus particle = \[6.02\times {{10}^{-2}}\,cc/g\]                 Radius of virus \[(r)=7\times {{10}^{-8}}\,cm\]                 Length of virus = \[10\times {{10}^{-8}}\,cm\]                 Volume of virus                 \[=\pi {{r}^{2}}\ell =\frac{22}{7}\times {{(7\times {{10}^{-8}})}^{2}}\times 10\times {{10}^{-8}}\]                 \[=154\,\times {{10}^{-23}}cc\]                 Weight of one virus particle                 \[=\frac{volume}{specific\,volume}=\frac{154\times {{10}^{-23}}}{6.02\times {{10}^{-2}}}\]                 \[\therefore \,Mol.\,wt.\,of\,virus=Wt.\,of\,{{N}_{A}}\,particle\]                 \[=\frac{154\times {{10}^{-23}}}{6.02\times {{10}^{-2}}}\times 6.02\times {{10}^{23}}\]                 \[=15400\,g/mol=15.4\,kg/mol\]
