- Molecular distances are usually given in nanometers (1 nm = 1 109 m) or in picometers (1 pm = 1 1012 m). However, the angstrom () unit is sometimes used, where 1 = 1 1010 m. (The angstrom unit is not an SI unit.) If the distances between the Pt atom and the N atom in the cancer chemotherapy drug cisplatin is 1.97 , What is this distances in nanometers? In picometers?arrow_forwardThe label on a bale of mulch indicates a volume of 1.45 ft3. The label also states that the mulch in the bale will cover an area of a garden 6 ft 6 ft to a depth of 1 in. Account for the discrepancy in the given volumes.arrow_forwardIn the following scenario, identify which of the statements represents a theory, law, or hypothesis. (a) A student exploring the properties of gases proposes that is she decreases the volume of a sample of gas then the pressure exerted by the sample will increase (b) Many scientists over time have conducted similar experiments and have concluded that pressure and volume are inversely proportional. (c) She proposes that the reason this occurs is that if the volume is decreased, more molecules will collide with a given area of the container walls, causing the pressure to be greater.arrow_forward
