    The density of gold is \[19 g/c{{m}^{3}}\]. If \[1.9\times {{10}^{-4}}g\]of gold is dispersed in one litre of water to give a Sol having spherical gold particles of radius 10 Nm, then the number of gold particles per mm3 of the sol will be:

    A) \[1.9\times {{10}^{12}}\]                     

    B) \[6.3\times {{10}^{14}}\]

    C) \[6.3\text{ }\times {{10}^{10}}\]                      

    D) \[2.4\text{ }\times {{10}^{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Volume of gold dispersed in 1 L water \[=\frac{mass}{density}=\frac{1.9\times 1{{0}^{-4}}g}{19g\,c{{m}^{-3}}}=1\times {{10}^{-5}}{{\operatorname{cm}}^{3}}\]
    Radius of gold  sol particle \[10nm=10\times 1{{0}^{-7}}cm=1{{0}^{-6cm}}\]
    Volume of gold sol particle \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\]\[=\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{22}{7}\times {{({{10}^{-6}})}^{3}}=4.19\times {{10}^{-18}}c{{m}^{3}}\]
    \[\therefore \] No. of gold sol particles in\[1\times {{10}^{-5}}c{{m}^{3}}\] \[=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-5}}}{4.19\times {{10}^{-18}}}=2.38\times {{10}^{12}}\]
    \[\therefore \]No. of gold sol particles in one \[m{{m}^{3}}\] \[=\frac{2.38\times {{10}^{12}}}{{{10}^{6}}}=2.4\times {{10}^{6}}\]
