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

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

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

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

    D) \[1.54\,kg/mol\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

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