Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 225%
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Surface area \(x \propto A ^{2 / 3}\)
\(X_i=8^{2 / 3} K=4 K\)
\(X_f=(8+10+9)^{2 / 3} K=9 K\)
% increase in surface area of nucleus
\(x_i=\frac{9 K-4 K}{4 K} \times 100=125\) %
\(X_i=8^{2 / 3} K=4 K\)
\(X_f=(8+10+9)^{2 / 3} K=9 K\)
% increase in surface area of nucleus
\(x_i=\frac{9 K-4 K}{4 K} \times 100=125\) %
