Conversion problem
« on: August 24, 2005, 08:40:40 PM »
I hope I am posting in the correct forum.  I apologize if I didn't.  I need serious help.  I'm not looking for someone to give me the answer, I just need a place to get started.  I am a freshman in college and this is my very first chemistry class.  My teacher will not even tell us where to begin.  He only answers yes or no questions.  Here is the problem: How much area in meters squared will 200 cubic centimeters of oil cover if it forms a layer 0.5 nanometers thick.  Remember....I only need a general idea of where to start and I will try my best to take it from there.  Thank you!!  ;D

1cm = 10-2m
1nm = 10-9m

convert all quantities in terms of m, then solve.

what is the formula for volume of a cuboid?

Thank you thank you thank you!!  I'm going to try it out and see what I come up with.  Chemistry is not my thing.  I am an English person and this stuff is about to kill me!
