Volume occupied by one molecule of water (density = 1 g cm^-3) is:

  1. 9.0 × 10^-23 cm^3
  2. 6.023 × 10^-23 cm^3
  3. 3.0 × 10^-23 cm^3
  4. 5.5 × 10^-23 cm^3

Correct answer: 3.0 × 10^-23 cm^3

Solution

The volume of one molecule of water can be calculated using the formula V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius of the water molecule. The radius of a water molecule is approximately 1.4 Å, which is 1.4 × 10^-8 cm. Therefore, the volume of one molecule of water is approximately 3.0 × 10^-23 cm^3.
