The density of solid argon is `1.65g//mL ` at `-233^(@)C` . If the argon atom is assumed to be sphere of radius `1.54xx10^(-8)cm`, what percentage of solid argon is apparentaly empty space ? `(At. Wt. of Ar=40)`A. 26B. 32C. 68D. 52

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Volume of one atom of `Ar=(4)/(3)pir^(3)`
Also, No. of atom in 1.65kg
`=(1.65)/(40)xx6.023xx10^(25)`
`therefore` Total volume of all atoms of Ar in solid state
`=(4)/(3)pir^(3)xx(1.65)/(40)xx6.023xx10^(23)`
`=(4)/(3)xx(22)/(7)xx(1.54xx10^(-4))^(3)xx(1.65)/(40)xx6.023=0.380cm^(3)`
Volume of solid argon=`1cm^(3)`
`therefore %` empty space `=([1-0.380])/(1)xx100=62%`
