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

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

    B) \[15.4\,kg/mol\]

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

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Specific volume (volume of 1 gm) of cylindrical virus particle\[=6.02\times {{10}^{-2}}cc/gm\] Radius of virus \[(r)=7\overset{o}{\mathop{A}}\,=7\times {{10}^{-8}}\,cm\] Length of virus \[=10\times {{10}^{-8}}\,cm\] Volume of virus \[\pi {{r}^{2}}=\frac{22}{7}\times {{(7\times {{10}^{-8}})}^{2}}\times 10\times {{10}^{-8}}=154\times {{10}^{-23}}\,cc\] Wt. of one virus particle \[\text{=}\,\frac{\text{volume}}{\text{specific}\,\text{volume}}\] \[\therefore \]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/mole
