Question
The diameter of a single carbon particle in a sample of printer toner is 25nm. If you have
50g of that carbon, how long of a chain of carbon particles could you string end to end?
Assume that the particles are perfect spheres and they all have the same diameter.
Volume of a sphere: (4/3)πr3 Density of carbon: 2.0g/cm3
The given information and your knowledge of metric prefixes and conversions is the only
information that you will need to solve the problem.
