Understanding The Mole Henry Bui Bineh Kalra
We know that..... Volume of M&M = cm^ 3 (Klein bottle.com) Volume of Lake Ontario = 1,640 km^3 (great- lakes.net) AND that 1 cubic cm= 1 x 10^-6 cubic meters 1 cubic km = 1x 10^9 cubic meters
The size of one M&M = cc 1 cc = 10^-6 cubic meters cubic centimetres x 10^ -6 cubic meters 1 cubic centimetre = x 10^ -7 cubic meters Volume of Lake Ontario cubic kilometres x 10^ -9 cubic meters 1 cubic kilometre = 1.64 x 10^12 cubic meters
One Mole of M&Ms ( x 10^ -7) x (6.002 x 10^ 23) = x10 to the power of 17 M&Ms/ mol Volume of Lake Ontario ÷ Volume of 1 mole of M&Ms 1.64 x10^ x 10^17 = x 10^ -7 cubic meters
