Question

Suppose you have Avogadro's number of mini marshmallows and use them to cover the state of Colorado which has a land area of 1,037 x 10 mi?. Each mini marshmallow has a diameter of 0.635 cm and a height of 2.54 cm. Assuming the marshmallows are packed together so there is no space between them, to what height above the surface, in kilometers, will the mini marshmallows extend? height:

Answer 1

- Avagadro const. (NA) = 6.022 x 1023 diameter of mini marshmallow - 0.635 cm in radium (8) = 0.635 * 10-2 x 103 km Height (h) of marshmallow th) = 2.54cm. = 2.54 X 16 5 km volume of marshmallows = NA X 78² h = = = 6.022 x 1023 x 3014 x (003175x10-5PX (2054X165) 48-0290632 x 108 x 6003175)2 4.841629 X 108 km² Area of State of colorado (A) = 1.0378105 miles? = 1.037 x 165x (1.60934)² km² [vol me = 1060934 km] = 2.6858 X 105 km2

Area of state of colardo x Height = volume of marshmallows - HX 2068 588 105 km² = 4.841629 8 10 8 km² - H= 1.802676 8 103 km = H= 18020676 km
