ou have a lot of paperwork laying around. A ream of stacked paper is 500 sheets and is 2.0 inches thick.  Let's say you had a mole of paper. (1 mole of paper = 6.022 x 1023 sheets of paper) and it was all stacked up in 10 stacks of equal height, each containing a tenth of a mole of sheets. The ten stacks sit one on top of the other.

Question

You have a lot of paperwork laying around. A ream of stacked paper is 500 sheets and is 2.0 inches thick.  Let's say you had a mole of paper. (1 mole of paper = 6.022 x 1023 sheets of paper) and it was all stacked up in 10 stacks of equal height, each containing a tenth of a mole of sheets. The ten stacks sit one on top of the other. How high are they?

(Hint:  find the height of a stack of containing 0.1 mole of paper. USE DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS!)

Here are are some conversions you might need:  2.54 cm = 1 in; around 9.46 x 1015 meters / light yr and 3.26 light  yr / parsec.
