NOTE : Fixed an error in the conversion factor for Å (Thanks Vincent!)

Use dimensional analysis to calculate the following:

How many miles would all the water molecules in 1 drop of water stretch if they were laid out end to end? You may find the following conversion factors helpful.

1 mL water = 20 drops
1 g water = 1 mL water
1 molecule of water = 2.75 Å (<-- Angstrom, a unit of length)
1 cm = 100,000,000 Å
1 mile = 1.60934 km
1 mole of water = 6.022 x 10^23 molecules water
1 mole of water = 18.015 g water

Have fun! :)

Print the attached LAB #1; review the procedures and be prepared to do the experiment Thursday.

Online Textbook help IF YOU'RE ON A MAC using Safari: Here's how to get the textbook to work (at least, this works with my Mac, running OS-X 10.6.7)
