Estimate the distance (in nm) between molecules of water vapor at 100°C and 1.0 atm. Assume ideal behavior. Repeat the calculation for liquid water at 100°C, given that the density of water is 0.96 g/cm3 at that temperature. Comment on your results. (Assume each water molecule to be a sphere with a diameter of 0.3 mm.) (Hint: First calculate the number density of water molecules. Next, convert the number density to linear density, that is, the number of molecules in one direction.)
