Question

A liter of water contains about 3.35 * 10 ^ 25 molecules. A certain river discharges about 2.4 * 10 ^ 7 of water every second. About how many molecules does the river discharge every minute?

Answer 1

Answer: 3.6791719e+46

Step-by-step explanation :

3.35 * 10 = 33.5 ^25

molecules per litre = 33.5 ^ 25

2.4 * 10 = 24 ^ 7 = 4,586,471,424 ( we'll assume this is ml as the question doesn't specify ) so thats 4,586,471,424ml discharged every second which is 4,586,471 litres per second. 4,586,471 * 60 seconds in a minute = 275,188,260 litres discharged every minute.

molecules per litre is 33.5 ^ 25 and litres discharged per minute is 275,188,260

so the answer would be : 275,188,260 * 33.5 ^ 25 = 3.6791719e+46 (in other words a big number)
