The area of Pluto is 44,828 mi2 . If a mole of 0.50 mm cubic particles were evenly spread over Pluto, how deep, in meters, would the particles be?
Volume of 1 mole of particles = 6.022*10^23 * (0.55)mm^3
= 3.3121 *10^23 mm^3
=3.3121 *10^23 *10^-9 m^3
=3.3121 *10^14 m^3
surface area = 44828 mi^2
= 44828* 2.58999*10^6 m^2
= 1.161*10^11 m^2
(since 1 mi^2 = 2.58999*10^6 m^2)
deepness = volume / area
=(3.3121 *10^14 m^3) / (1.161*10^11 m^2)
= 2853 m
Answer: 2853 m
