Q45 / 77 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Chemistry · Solid State

On breaking a cubic solid (edge = 1 m) into fine cubic particles of edge 1 μm , surface becomes n×100000 . The value of n is?

Correct answer: 10.00

Solution

For a cube of dimension (1m×1m×1m) , the surface area
=(1×1)×6 faces
=6m2×1μm10-6m2
=6×1012(μm)2
The volume = 1  m 3  ×  1μm 10 −6 m 3
=1018(μm)3
For 1018 cubes of dimension (1μm×1μm×1μm) , the total surface area
=1018×1μm×1μm×6 faces
=6×1018(μm)2
On breaking, the surface area becomes
=6×1018(μm)26×1012(μm)2 times
= 1000000 times
Hence n = 10

Hence, the correct answer is 10.00.
