  • question_answer
    0.27 g of a long chain fatty acid was dissolved in \[100c{{m}^{3}}\]of hexane. 10 mL of this solution was added drop wise to the surface of water in a round watch glass. Hexane evaporates and a monolayer is formed. The distance from edge to centre of the watch glass is 10 cm. What is the height of the monolayer? [Density of fatty acid \[=0.9g\,c{{m}^{-3}},\pi =3\]]             [JEE Main 8-4-2019 Afternoon]

    A) \[{{10}^{-8}}m\]                 

    B) \[{{10}^{-6}}m\]

    C) \[{{10}^{-4}}m\]     

    D)   \[{{10}^{-2}}m\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Radius of watchglass= 10 cm \[\Rightarrow \] surface area \[=\pi {{r}^{2}}=3\times {{(10\,cm)}^{2}}\]           \[=300\,c{{m}^{2}}\] mass of fatty acid in 10 ml solution \[=\frac{10\times 0.27}{100}=0.027gm\] volume of fatty acid \[=\frac{0.027}{0.9g/ml}=0.03c{{m}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[Height=\frac{volume\,of\,fatty\,acid}{surface\,area\,of\,watch\ glass}\] \[=\frac{0.03\,c{{m}^{3}}}{300\,c{{m}^{2}}}=0.0001cm={{10}^{-6}}m\]
