Goal Solution Calculate the mass of an atom of (a) helium, (b) iron, and (c)
lead. Give your answers in atomic mass units and in grams. The molar masses are
4.00, 55.9, and 207 g/mol, respectively, for the atoms given. Gather
information: The mass of an atom of any element is essentially the mass of the
protons and neutrons that make up its nucleus since the mass of the electrons
is negligible (less than a 0.05% contribution). Since most atoms have about the
same number of neutrons as protons, the atomic mass isapproximately double the
atomic number (the number of protons). We should also expect that the mass of a
single atom is a very small fraction of a gram (~10–23 g) since one mole (6.02
× 1023) of atoms has a mass on the order of several grams. Organize: An atomic
mass unit is defined as 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom (which has a molar
mass of 12.0 g/mol), so the mass of any atom in atomic mass units is simply the
numerical value of the molar mass. The mass in grams can be found by
multiplying the molar mass by the mass of one atomic mass unit (u): 1 u = 1.66
× 10–24 g. Analyze: For He, m = 4.00 u = (4.00 u)(1.66 × 10–24 g/u) = 6.64 ×
10–24 g For Fe, m = 55.9 u = (55.9 u)(1.66 × 10–24g/u) = 9.28 × 10–23 g For Pb,
m = 207 u = (207 u)(1.66 × 10–24 g/u) = 3.44 × 10–22 g Learn: As expected, the
mass of the atoms is larger for bigger atomic numbers. If we did not know the conversion
factor for atomic mass units, we could use the mass of a proton as a close
approximation: 1u ≈ mp = 1.67 × 10–24 g. aˆ†m 3.80 g – 3.35 g = = 0.00228

Goal Solution A solid piece of lead has a mass of 23.94 g and a volume of 2.10
cm3. From these data, calculate the density of lead in SI units (kg/m3). G:
From Table 1.5, the density of lead is 1.13 × 104 kg/m3, so we should expect
our calculated value to be close to this number. This density value tells us
that lead is about 11 times denser than water, which agrees with our experience
that lead sinks. m O: Density is defined as mass per
volume, in ρ = . We must convert to SI units in the calculation. V A:

L: At one step in the calculation, we note that one million cubic centimeters
make one cubic meter. Our result is indeed close to the expected value. Since
the last reported significant digit is not certain, the difference in the two
values isprobably due to measurement uncertainty and should not be a concern.
One important common-sense check on density values is that objects which sink
in water must have a density greater than 1 g/cm3, and objects that float must
be less dense than water.

Goal Solution At the time of this book’s printing, the U.S. national
debt is about $6 trillion. (a) If payments were made at the rate of $1 000 per
second, how many years would it take to pay off a $6-trillion debt, assuming no
interest were charged? (b) A dollar bill is about 15.5 cm long. If six trillion
dollar bills were laid end to end around the Earth’s equator, how many times
would they encircle the Earth? Take the radius of the Earth at the equator to
be 6 378 km. (Note: Before doing any of these calculations, try to guess at the
answers. You may be very surprised.) (a) G: $6 trillion is certainly a large
amount of money, so even at a rate of $1000/second, we
might guess that it will take a lifetime (~ 100 years) to pay off the debt. O:
Time to repay the debt will be calculated by dividing the total debt by the
rate at which it is repaid.

G: We might guess that 6 trillion bills would encircle the Earth at least a few

L: OK, so again our estimate was low. Knowing that the bills could encircle the
earth more than 20 000 times, it might be reasonable to think that 6 trillion

a surprisingly small fraction of the earth’s surface area!

Goal Solution Estimate the number of Ping-Pong balls that would fit into an
average-size room (without being crushed). In your solution state the
quantities you measure or estimate and the values you take for them. G: Since
the volume of a typical room is much larger than a Ping-Pong ball, we should
expect that a very large number of balls (maybe a million) could fit in a room.
O: Since we are only asked to findan estimate, we do not need to be too
concerned about how the balls are arranged. Therefore, to find the number of
balls we can simply divide the volume of an average-size room by the volume of
an individual Ping-Pong ball. A: A typical room (like a living room) might have
dimensions 15 ft × 20 ft × 8 ft. Using the approximate conversion 1 ft = 30 cm,
we find Vroom ≈ 15 ft × 20 ft × 8 ft = 2400 ft3  30 cm 3 = 7 × 107

A Ping-Pong ball has a diameter of about 3 cm, so we can estimate its volume as
a cube: Vball ≈ (3 × 3 × 3) cm3 = 30 cm3 The number of Ping-Pong balls
that can fill the room is N≈ V room 7 × 107 cm3 = = 2 × 106 balls ~ 106

It might be reasonable to guess that, on average, McDonalds sells a 3 cm × 8 cm
× 10 cm = 240 cm3 medium-sized box of fries, and that it is packed 3/4 full
with fries that have a cross section of 1/2 cm × 1/2 cm. Thus, the typical box

250 million boxes would stretch a total distance of (250 × 106 box)(7.2 m/box)

A typical raindrop is spherical and might have a radius of about 0.1 inch. Its
volume is then approximately 4 × 10-3 in3. Since 1 acre = 43,560 ft2, the
volume of water required to cover it to a depth of 1 inch is (1 acre 1 inch) = (1 acre · in)  The number of raindrops

In order to reasonably carry on photosynthesis, we might expect a blade of
grass to require atleast 1/16 in2 = 43 × 10-5 ft2. Since 1 acre = 43,560 ft2,
the number of blades of grass to be expected on a quarter-acre plot of land is
about n= total area (0.25 acre 43,560 ft2/acre) =
area per blade 43 × 10-5 ft2/blade

Since you are at least 18 years old, you would be

Assume the tub measure 1.3 m by 0.5 m by 0.3 m. One-half of its volume is then
V = (0.5 1.3 m)(0.5 m)(0.3 m) = 0.10 m3 The mass of
this volume of water is mwater = ρwaterV= (1000 kg/m3)(0.10 m3) = 100 kg

The typical person probably drinks 2 to 3 soft drinks
daily. Perhaps half of these were in aluminum cans. Thus, we will estimate 1
aluminum can disposal per person per day. In the U.S. there are 250 million people, and
365 days in a year, so (250 × 106 cans/day 365
days/year) ≈ 1010 cans are thrown away or recycled each year. Guessing
that each can weighs around 1/10 of an ounce, we estimate this represents (1010

3.1 × 105 tons/year. 105 tons
