How many times would a mole of pennies go around the world?
I’m doing this for a chem project, if you could show me the mole conversions to get this answer and whatnot it would be greatly appreciated!
admin answers:
A penny is 19 mm wide.
There are 6.022×10²³ items in a mole, so 1 mole of pennies placed edge-to-edge would be 1.144×10^25 mm long.
Earth’s equatorial circumference is 40,075.16 km. There are 1,000,000 mm in 1 km, so the circumference is 4.007516×10^10 mm.
Divide the length of the pennies by the circumference of Earth, giving
2.855×10^14 times.

A Mole of Pennies Stacked End to End Would Reach from Here to the Sun and Back How Many Times?
how would you solve that using dimensional analysisss
admin answers:
Firstly, thank you for introducing me to the concept of “a mole of pennies”. I’d never heard that before !
Here’s something I found that should help (the link to the full webpage is below):
How many carbon-12 atoms are needed to have a mass of exactly 12 g. That number is NA – Avogadro’s number. Thus, NA is defined by
NA x (mass of carbon-12 atom) = 12 g
Careful measurements yield a value for NA = 6.0221367×10^+23. This is an incredibly large number – almost a trillion trillion. For example, if we stack NA pennies on top of one another how tall would the stack be? The answer is it would be so tall that the stack of pennies could reach the sun and back almost 500 million times!
A convenient name is given when there is an Avogadro’s number of objects – it is called a “mole”. Thus in the above example there was a mole of pennies.

A mole of pennies stacked end to end would reach from here to the sun and back how many times?
Show all work. Can you explain this to me?
admin answers:
(6.02 x10^23 pennies)*(0.1 cm / penny)*(1 m/100 cm)*(1 km/1000 m) * (1 trip / 1.5×10^8) =
6.02×10^23 * (10^-1) * (10^-2) * (10^-3) *[(1 /1.5)(10^-8)] trips=
(6.02/1.5) * 10^(23-14) =
(6.02/1.5) * 10^(9) =
(602/150) * 10^(9) =
(301/75) * 10^(9) = 4,013,333,333 1/3 trips = just over two billion round trips

Mark asks…
If I had 1 mole of pennies, how many times would it go around the globe? Calculations would be great thx?
Supposing a penny’s size is 2.1 cm.

William asks…
How many pennies are there in 1 mole of pennies?
admin answers:
K penys are are 98% Zinc with the remaining 2% being Electrolitically plated Copper
so about the molar mass of zinc 65.4 grams per mole
so 1 mole of pennies weighes 65.4 grams
a penny is about 2.5 grams
65.4 grams / 2.5 grams = 26 pennies per mole

Laura asks…
A mole of pennies stacked end to end would reach from here to the sun and back how many times? Show all work!?
there is 10 pennies in the stack.
admin answers:
How can there be only 10 pennies in the stack if it says a mole of pennies? A mole is 602200000000000000000000. A penny is about 1.55 mm thick. The total thickness of the stack would be 933,410,000,000,000,000,000,000 mm, or 933410000000000000 km. The distance to the sun is about 37000000 km. Hence, the pennies would reach there and back (assuming there and back is one) 25,227,297,297,297,295 times

Jenny asks…
if a mole of pennies is donated to a school and there are 1500 students?
how fast can you spend your share in years?
$100,000/ 1 minute
this is a chemistry problem
and please set it up with factor labeling
admin answers:
6.02e23 pennies / 100 pennies = 6.02e21 dollars / 1500 students = 4.013e18 dollars per student / 100000 dollars per minute = 4.013e13 minutes
4.013e13 min / 60 minutes = 6.68e11 hours / 24 hours = 2.787e10 days / 365 days= 76,357,179.1 years
“e” means “x10″ so 6.02e23 = 6.02×10^23
If you want it in dimensional analysis form, I can’t help you, I can’t do that format in the answer box.

Thomas asks…
A mole of pennies will fill up the earth how many times?
The volume for 1 penny = .357ml
The volume for earth = 4/3(3.1416) (6375km)to the third=1.08x10to the 27thcmto the 3rd(cubic centimeters)
admin answers:
Change cubic centimeter measure to milliliters (mL) with the equality 1mL = 1cm3
Calculate volume of 1 mole of pennies by multiplying using equality 6.022 x10exp23 pennies = 1 mole pennies
Divide volume of mole of pennies by volume of earth for your answer
