Answer:
The percentage of the void space out of the total volume occupied is 93.11%
Explanation:
A mole of water contains 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.
To calculate the volume of a mole of water, we calculate 2 times the volume of the hydrogen atom and 1 times the volume of the oxygen atom
Let's calculate this one after the other.
For the hydrogen, formula for the volume will be
= 2 × 4/3 × π ×
where = 37 pm which is read as 37 picometer (1 picometer = 10^-12 m) = 37 ×
meters
Volume of the hydrogen = 8/3 × (37 × 10^-12)^3 = 4.05 * 10^-31
we multiply this by the avogadro's number = 6.02 * 10^23
= 4.05 * 10^-31 * 6.02 * 10^23 = 2.6 * 10^-8 m^3
We do same for thr oxygen, but this time we do not multiply the volume of the oxygen by 2 as we have only one atom of oxygen
Volume of oxygen = 4/3 * π * (73 * 10^-12) ^3 * avogadro's number = 9.81 * 10^-7 m^3
adding both volumes together, we have 1.24 * 10^-6 m^3 or simply 1.24 ml ( 0.01 m = 1 ml)
Dividing the molar mass of one mole of water by its density, we can get the volume of 1 mole of water
= (18g/mol)/(1 g/ml) = 18 ml/mol
Now we proceed to calculate the volume of void = Total volume - volume of molecule = 18 - 1.24 = 16.76 ml
Now, the percentage of void = volume of void/total volume * 100%
= 16.76/18 * 100% = 93.11%
