Number of molecules in one dm3 of water ??
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:the litre of water has 1000 grams.The number of moles=1000/18=55.556moles.
Therefore the number of molecules is close to 3.346*10²⁵ molecules(1dm³ and 1 kilogram are very close,due to the density of water being close to unity).

Given: Volume of water = 1 dm³
To Find: Number of molecules in one dm³ of water
Solution:
Formulas used:
- 1 dm³ = 1L = 1000cm³
- Density of water = 1g/cm³
- Density of water - d = given mass (m)/ Volume(V)
- number of moles(n) = given mass(m)/ molecular mass(M)
- number of molecules(N) = n × Nₐ (Nₐ = Avagadro number = 6.023 × 10²³ molecules)
Applying the above formulas:
d = m /V (Density formula)
1g/cm³ = m/1000cm³
m = 1 × 1000 = 1000g
Applying formula for calculating number of moles - n
n = m/M ( M - molecular mass of water- H₂O = 16 + 2 = 18g)
n = 1000/18
n = 55.6 moles
Applying the formula for calculating the number of molecules in 55.6 moles of water
N = n × Nₐ
N = 55.6 × 6.023 × 10²³
N = 334.88 × 10²³
N = 3.3 × 10²⁵ molecules
Hence, 3.3 × 10²⁵ molecules are present in one dm³ of water.
