If it takes one second to count two rice grains, calculate the time in years required to count a mole of rice grains.

Asked by sureshrayamajhi

Answer (3)

Counting a mole (6.022 × 10^23 particles) of rice grains at a rate of one grain every 0.5 seconds would take approximately 9.54 × 10^15 years, demonstrating the enormity of Avogadro's number. ;

mole is 6,022*10^23
6,022 * 10^23 /2 (here are seconds) then /60 (minutes), then /60 (hours) /24 (days), then /365 (year) equals 9547818366311516,9965 years
every 4 years there's one day more in a year, so 9547818366311516,9965 /4 ( here are days) then / 365 = 6539601620761,31 years less.
the answer is 9547818366311516,9965 - 6539601620761,31 = 9541278764690755,6865 years to calculate the rice

Counting a mole of rice grains takes approximately 9.54 × 1 0 15 years, based on the counting rate of 1 second for every 2 grains. This calculation emphasizes the enormity of Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 1 0 23 . Hence, counting to a mole is an impractically long task on a human timescale.
