CBSEENCH12011329

Volume occipied by one molecule of water (density = 1 g cm-3) is

  • 9.0 x 10-23

  • 6.023 x 10-23 cm3

  • 3.0 x 10-23 cm3

  • 5.5 x 10-23 cm3

Solution

C.

3.0 x 10-23 cm3

6.02 x 1023 molecules of water = 1 mol
                                                  = 18 g
Therefore, Mass of one molecule of water
  fraction numerator 18 over denominator 6.023 space straight x space 10 to the power of 23 space straight g end fraction
straight d equals space straight m over straight V
therefore comma space
straight V space equals space straight m over straight d space equals space fraction numerator 18 over denominator 6.023 space straight x space 10 to the power of 23 space straight x 1 end fraction
space equals space 3 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 23 space end exponent space cm cubed
