the volume of one moleculeof water.
Answers
Answer:
1 mole of water = 6.022 x 10^23 molecules of water, So 55.5 moles of water = 55.5 x 6.022 x 10^23 = 3.34 x 10^25 molecules of water. The gram molecular mass of water is 18.02. Thus volume occupied by 1 H2O molecule is 2.99 ×10-23 ml.
Answer: 23 ml H₂O
Explanation:
We can find this through a few steps:
Convert molecules to moles via Avogadro's number
Convert moles to grams via molar mass
Convert grams to cubic centimeters (milliliters) via density
Step 1:
We'll first convert the one molecule of water to moles, using Avogadro's number:
1molecule H₂O(1lmol H₂O6.022×1023molecules H₂O)
=1.66×10−24 mol H₂O
Step 2:
Now, using the molar mass of water (
18.02 g/mol), we'll calculate the number of grams:
1.66×10−24mol H₂O(18.02lg H₂O1mol H₂O)
=2.99×10−23g H₂O
Step 3:
Finally, knowing that 1g water occupies a volume of 1cm3 (or 1mL, which is more conventional for liquids), we can calculate the volume occupied by one molecules of water:
2.99×10−23g H₂O(1lmL1g H₂O)
=2.99×10−23 mL H₂O
