Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To estimate the volume of a water molecule and its approximate size, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Molar Mass of Water The molecular formula of water is H₂O, which consists of: - 2 hydrogen atoms (H) with a molar mass of approximately 1 g/mol each. - 1 oxygen atom (O) with a molar mass of approximately 16 g/mol. Calculating the molar mass of water: ...
