Calculate Number of Solute Molecules in 30mM Solution in 100nm Sphere

[towerette]

Suppose i have a spherical volume of 100nm with a solution 30mM.
How many solute molecules it corresponds to?

My answer is about 6400...is that correct?
im just not sure i did some conversion correctly...

Thanks

100nm is what? Radius? Diameter?

6400 of what?

Sorry for not being clear, 100nm is the radius.
N = 6400 is the number of solute particles I get
from the formula c = N/(N_A*V), just wanted to know
if its right.
c = 30mM

Thanks.

Formula is OK, but I got different number. Not necesarilly correctly.

I did the calculation again, i got around 75000 molecules, right?
Well..it seems I'm playing dices...
