They asked us: A Mole of M&Ms would fill how many holes the size of Lake Ontario...? • We know that..... • Volume of M&M = 0.45239 cm^ 3 (Klein bottle.com) • Volume of Lake Ontario = 1,640 km^3 (great-lakes.net) • AND that • 1 cubic cm= 1 x 10^-6 cubic meters • 1 cubic km = 1x 10^9 cubic meters
And so we thought... • The size of one M&M = 0.45239cc • 1 cc = 10^-6 cubic meters • 0.45239 cubic centimetres x 10^ -6 cubic meters • 1 cubic centimetre • = 4.5239 x 10^ -7 cubic meters • Volume of Lake Ontario • 1.640 cubic kilometres x 10^ -9 cubic meters • 1 cubic kilometre • = 1.64 x 10^12 cubic meters
And thought some more.... • One Mole of M&Ms • (4.5239 x 10^ -7) x (6.002 x 10^ 23) • = 2.724 x10 to the power of 17 M&Ms/ mol • Volume of 1 mole of M&Ms ÷ Volume of Lake Ontario • 2.724 x 10^17 • 1.64 x10^12 • = 1.66097561 x 10^5
And Finally.....! One Mole of M&Ms can fill 166097.561 holes the size of Lake Ontario!
