This Python program calculates the approximate number of water molecules in a given volume of water (in liters).
It uses the known mass of one liter of water and the estimated mass of a single water molecule to compute the result.
The code is formatted for seamless integration into a webpage using the specified HTML structure.
# Approximate mass of one water molecule: 2.99e-23 grams
# Mass of one liter of water: ~1000 grams
mass_per_molecule = 2.99e-23 # grams
mass_per_liter = 1000 # grams
liters = float(input("Please enter the volume of water (in liters): "))
total_mass = liters * mass_per_liter
num_molecules = total_mass / mass_per_molecule
print("The approximate number of water molecules is:", num_molecules)
Please enter the volume of water (in liters): 2
The approximate number of water molecules is: 6.688963210702342e+25
Here’s how the program works:
- It uses the estimated mass of a single water molecule: 2.99 × 10⁻²³
grams
- Assumes one liter of water weighs approximately 1000 grams
- Multiplies the input volume by the mass per liter to get total mass
- Divides total mass by the mass of one molecule to get the number of molecules
- Displays the result using the print()
