Answer

The length of $6.02 \times 10^{23}$ hydrogen atoms is $1.276 \times 10^{11}$, while the length of the $6.02 \times 10^{23}$ ping pong ball is $2.408 \times 10^{19}$

Work Step by Step

1. Convert nm to km by using conversion factors and calculate the leght of hydrogen atoms: $1nm = 1 \times 10 ^{-15} km$ $212 nm = 2.12 \times 10^{-13} km$ $2.12 \times 10^{-13} km \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} = 1.27624 \times 10^{11} km$ 2 Convert nm to km by using conversion factors and calculate the leght of ping pong balls: $1cm = 1 \times 10 ^{-5} km$ $4 cm = 4 \times 10^{-5} km$ $4 \times 10^{-5} km \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} = 2.408 \times 10^{19} km$
