JEE MainPhysicsProperties of MatterNumerical+4 / −1
Suppose you have taken a dilute solution of oleic acid in such a way that its concentration becomes 0.01 cm3 of oleic acid per cm3 of the solution. Then you make a thin film of this solution (monomolecular thickness) of area 4 cm2 by considering 100 spherical drops of radius (340π)13×10−3{\left( {{3 \over {40\pi }}} \right)^{{1 \over 3}}} \times {10^{ - 3}}(40π3​)31​×10−3 cm. Then the thickness of oleic acid layer will be x ×\times× 10 −-− 14 m. Where x is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

  1. Given data
  • Concentration of oleic acid in solution: 0.01 cm3 of oleic acid per cm3 of solution0.01\ \text{cm}^3 \text{ of oleic acid per cm}^3 \text{ of solution}0.01 cm3 of oleic acid per cm3 of solution
  • Number of drops used: 100100100
  • Radius of each spherical drop: r=(340π)1/3×10−3 cmr=\left(\frac{3}{40\pi}\right)^{1/3}\times 10^{-3}\ \text{cm}r=(40π3​)1/3×10−3 cm
  • Area of monomolecular film formed: A=4 cm2A=4\ \text{cm}^2A=4 cm2

We need thickness of oleic acid layer.


  1. Volume of one drop of solution

Since each drop is spherical, Vdrop=43πr3V_{\text{drop}}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3Vdrop​=34​πr3

Now, r3=340π×10−9 cm3r^3=\frac{3}{40\pi}\times 10^{-9}\ \text{cm}^3r3=40π3​×10−9 cm3

So, Vdrop=43π(340π×10−9)V_{\text{drop}}=\frac{4}{3}\pi\left(\frac{3}{40\pi}\times 10^{-9}\right)Vdrop​=34​π(40π3​×10−9)

Canceling terms, Vdrop=440×10−9=10−10 cm3V_{\text{drop}}=\frac{4}{40}\times 10^{-9}=10^{-10}\ \text{cm}^3Vdrop​=404​×10−9=10−10 cm3


  1. Total volume of 100 drops of solution

Vsolution=100×10−10=10−8 cm3V_{\text{solution}}=100\times 10^{-10}=10^{-8}\ \text{cm}^3Vsolution​=100×10−10=10−8 cm3


  1. Volume of oleic acid present in this solution

Only 0.01 cm30.01\ \text{cm}^30.01 cm3 of oleic acid is present per 1 cm31\ \text{cm}^31 cm3 of solution. Thus oleic acid fraction is 0.01=10−20.01=10^{-2}0.01=10−2

Therefore, Vacid=10−2×10−8=10−10 cm3V_{\text{acid}}=10^{-2}\times 10^{-8}=10^{-10}\ \text{cm}^3Vacid​=10−2×10−8=10−10 cm3


  1. Thickness of monomolecular film

For a thin film, thickness=volumearea\text{thickness} = \frac{\text{volume}}{\text{area}}thickness=areavolume​

Hence, t=10−104 cmt=\frac{10^{-10}}{4}\ \text{cm}t=410−10​ cm t=14×10−10 cm=2.5×10−11 cmt=\frac{1}{4}\times 10^{-10}\ \text{cm}=2.5\times 10^{-11}\ \text{cm}t=41​×10−10 cm=2.5×10−11 cm

Now convert cm to m: 1 cm=10−2 m1\ \text{cm}=10^{-2}\ \text{m}1 cm=10−2 m

So, t=2.5×10−11×10−2 mt=2.5\times 10^{-11}\times 10^{-2}\ \text{m}t=2.5×10−11×10−2 m t=2.5×10−13 mt=2.5\times 10^{-13}\ \text{m}t=2.5×10−13 m

Write as x×10−14 mx\times 10^{-14}\ \text{m}x×10−14 m: 2.5×10−13=25×10−142.5\times 10^{-13}=25\times 10^{-14}2.5×10−13=25×10−14

Thus, x=25x=25x=25
