Average distance between water molecules

AI Thread Summary
The average distance between water molecules at room temperature and pressure can be estimated using the density of water, which is 1 g/cm³, and its molecular weight of 18 g/mol. This information allows for the calculation of the number of moles in a given volume, leading to an understanding of molecular spacing. However, direct answers to homework questions are discouraged to promote independent learning. Instead, participants are encouraged to provide hints and guidance. Understanding these concepts is essential for grasping molecular interactions in water.

Does anyone know what the average distance between water molecules at rtp is, or how I could work this out?

Thanks

Taking into account the density of water = 1 Kg/L = 1 g/cm3 and the molecular weight to be 18 g/mol then the number of moles found in unit volume is:

Welcome to the PF, huda123.

Please take care not to give out answers to homework/coursework questions. It is against the PF Homework Help rules. Please see the "Rules" link at the top of the page.

Please instead provide hints, or clarifying remarks, and be tutorial in your help here. Our goal is to help the original poster (OP) to figure out the problem on their own. After all, that is how they will learn the material the best.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
