Hi, could I get some help with this macro-connection physics problem involving the Ideal Gas Law?
The set up is:
What is the average volume in nm3 (cubic nanometers) taken up by molecules of an ideal gas at room temperature (taken as 300 K), and 1 atm of pressure or 101325 N/m2 to 4 digits of precision if kB = 1.38e-23 J/K and 1 nm = 10-9 m?
Thank you.
Avagadro's number (6.023 × 1023) is a pure (unitless) number which serves as a good standard for measuring the number of molecules in ideal gases at STP.
A)What is the volume, in cubic kilometers, of Avogadro’s number of sand grains, if each grain is a cube with an edge length of 1.3 mm and the cubes are densely packed (with no air between them).
B) How long, in kilometers, would a beach have to be for this sand to cover it to a depth of 10.0 m? Assume a beach is 100.0 m wide, and you can neglect the air spaces between the grains.

- To conduct an experiment, the room temperature in a lab needs to be as close as possible to -2 degrees Celsius. Any variation from this target temperature, whether warmer or cooler, is considered an error that could affect the experiment. Function v gives the absolute temperature error as a function of the room temperature in degrees Celsius, x.Select all statements that are true about the function and the situation.When the room temperature is 0 degrees Celsius, v(0) has a value of 2.When the room temperature is -3 degrees Celsius, the absolute temperature error, v(-3), is -1.When the room temperature is 3 degrees Celsius, v(3) is 5.The equation v(x) = |x - 2| gives us the absolute temperature error when the room temperature is x degrees Celsius.When v(x)=0.5, the room temperature could be -1.5 or -2.5 degrees Celsius.The equation v(x) = |x+2| gives us the absolute temperature error when the room temperature is x degrees Celsius.arrow_forward3.2.
