Understanding The Mole

We know that..... Volume of M&M = 0.45239 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 = 0.45239cc 1 cc = 10^-6 cubic meters

0.45239 cubic centimetres x 10^ -6 cubic meters 1 cubic centimetre = 4.5239 x 10^ -7 cubic

meters Volume of Lake Ontario

1.640 cubic kilometres x 10^ -9 cubic meters 1 cubic kilometre = 1.64 x 10^12

cubic meters

• One Mole of M&Ms

• (4.5239 x 10^ -7) x (6.002 x 10^ 23)

• = 2.724 x10 to the power of 17 M&Ms/ mol• Volume of Lake Ontario ÷ Volume of 1 mole of M&Ms

• 1.64 x10^12• 2.724 x 10^17• = 4.5239 x 10^ -7
