Correct answer is 10. We know that driving force is inversely proportional to radius. ΔG∝ 1/R ⇒ ΔG1R 2= ΔG2R 1 As per question, α=ΔG2/ΔG1 = R 1/R 2 = R 1/0.1 R 2 = 10
Correct answer is 10.
We know that driving force is inversely proportional to radius.
ΔG∝ 1/R ⇒ ΔG1R 2= ΔG2R 1
As per question, α=ΔG2/ΔG1 = R 1/R 2 = R 1/0.1 R 2 = 10
