At a pressure of one billionth (10^-9) of atmospheric pressure, there are about 2.7 × 10¹⁰ molecules in one cubic centimeter of a gas. How many molecules is this per cubic meter? A) 2.7 × 10¹⁶ B) 2.7 × 10¹⁴ C) 2.7 × 10¹² D) 2.7 × 10⁸ E) 2.7 × 10⁴

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There are 1,000,000 cubic centimeters in a cubic meter, so multiply 2.7 × 10^10 molecules/cm³ by 10^6 to get 2.7 × 10^16 molecules/m³.
