How can I determine the shape of an oldie acid molecule?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the shape of an oldie acid molecule, the user has successfully calculated the volume and dimensions for parts A and B but is struggling with parts C and D. For part C, they are unsure how to apply the volume of a cuboid formula to find the dimensions of the molecule. In part D, they converted the density to g/cm³ and calculated the mass using the previously determined volume. The user seeks guidance on how to approach parts C and D effectively. Understanding the molecular orientation in relation to water is also a consideration in the discussion.

Finding dimension of molecule and avagadros constant
Relevant Equations
Na = N/n
v = lwh
I have done all of the questions apart from c and d. For a I got the answer 2.58*10^_5 cm^3
B) 3.72*10^-7 cm
But for c I don’t really know how to start. I first thought of using the formula for volume of cuboid but don’t know how that’d give the answer for the dimension.
For D, I turned the density from 890 kg m^-3 to 0.89 g cm^-3, found the molecular mass to be 282 and from my previous question used the volume v = 2.58*10^-5 to get mass = 2.2962*10^-5g from the formula p =m/v.
I’d just like to know how to do c and d, thanks for your help

Consider one molecule. How is it oriented on the water? Where are other molecules in relation to it?
 
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 .
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
