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

Click For 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.

Homework Statement
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?
 
If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
