Stoichiometry

Q1: Which of the following is not a unit of length ?

A Parsec

B Angstrom

C Barn

D Fermi

ANS:C - Barn

Among the options provided, barn is not a unit of length.

  1. Parsec (pc): A unit of length used in astronomy, equal to about 3.26 light-years, approximately 30.857 trillion kilometers, or about 19.173 trillion miles.
  2. Angstrom (Å): A unit of length used to measure atomic and molecular distances, equal to 0.1 nanometers or 10−1010−10 meters.
  3. Barn (b): A unit of area used in nuclear physics to measure the cross-sectional area of atomic nuclei or nuclear reactions. It is equivalent to 10−2810−28 square meters.
  4. Fermi (fm): A unit of length used in nuclear physics to measure distances between atomic nuclei or nuclear particles, equal to 10−1510−15 meters or one femtometer.
So, while parsec, angstrom, and fermi are units of length, barn is a unit of area.
