Q. The unit of length convenient on the atomic scale is known as an angstrom and is denoted by Å: 1 Å = 10⁻¹⁰ m. The size of a hydrogen atom is about 0.5 Å $r = 0.5$ Å. What is the total atomic volume of a mole $n = 1$ mol of hydrogen atoms, in m³?

The solution

Solved with Dimensions

Given

$r = 0.5$ Å from “0.5 Å”
$n = 1$ mol from “a mole”

Find $V_{N}$ .

Working

$r = 0.5$ Å $= 5 \times 10^{−11}$ m
entities in moles $N = n \cdot N_{A}$
$N = 1 \cdot 6.02214076 \times 10^{23}$
$N = 6.02214076 \times 10^{23}$
volume of a sphere $V = \frac{4 \cdot π \cdot r^{3}}{3}$
$V = \frac{4 \cdot 3.14159265 \cdot {(5 \times 10^{−11})}^{3}}{3}$
$V = 5.23598776 \times 10^{−31}$ m³
atoms side by side $V_{N} = N \cdot V$
$V_{N} = 6.02214076 \times 10^{23} \cdot 5.23598776 \times 10^{−31}$
$V_{N} = 3.15318553 \times 10^{−7}$ m³
$V_{N} \approx 3.15 \times 10^{−7}$ m³to 3 significant figures

Conclusion

Each atom is unimaginably small, but a mole holds so many of them that together they fill about a third of a cubic centimetre.
