    What is the fraction of molecular volume to the actual volume occupied by oxygen gas at STP? Given, the diameter of oxygen molecule is \[2\,\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\].

    A)  \[1.75\times {{10}^{-4}}\]       

    B)  \[1.5\times {{10}^{-4}}\]

    C)  \[12\times {{10}^{-4}}\]         

    D)  \[1.125\times {{10}^{-4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Volume of oxygen gas at STP  \[=22.4\text{ }L\] \[=22.4\times {{10}^{-3}}{{m}^{3}}\]           ...(i) \[\Rightarrow \]   Volume of oxygen molecules at STP \[={{N}_{0}}\times \frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\] \[=6.02\times {{10}^{23}}\times \frac{4}{3}\pi {{({{10}^{-10}})}^{3}}\] \[=6.02\times \frac{4}{3}\times \pi \times {{10}^{-7}}\] \[=25.20\times {{10}^{-7}}{{m}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{~Volume\text{ }\left( oxygen\text{ }molecules\text{ }at\text{ }STP \right)}{Volume\text{ }\left( oxygen\text{ }gas\text{ }at\text{ }STP \right)}\] \[=\frac{25.20\times {{10}^{-7}}}{22.4\times {{10}^{-3}}}=1.125\times {{10}^{-4}}\]
