Question

The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 1.5x10-21 g/cm? (questions in picture)

Part A
Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.
3.
O Veloud = 2.7x1029 cm
O Vcloud = 2.7×1031 cm³
O Vvloud = 2.7×1033 cm3
cloud = 2.7x1035 cm³

Part B
How does this volume compare with the volume of the entire Earth?
O Vcloud
=D240 V Earth
O Vloud = 2.4x104 VEarth
O Vvloud = 2.4x106 VEarth
O Valoud = 2.4x10° VEarth
