Hi guys I just made this account, and I'm taking Gen Chem 1 again over the summer as I completely failed it over Spring 2012, numbers and I have never really liked each other, but I am trying.
I have a question from my homework that is just trying to kill my brain hahaha, here goes.
A certain person has a brain that weighs 1.20 kg and contained 1.35x10^10 cells. Assuming that each cell was completely filled with water (density 1.00 g/ml) calculate the length of one side of such a cell if it were a cube.
If the cells were spread out into a layer that was one cell thick, what would be the surface area in square meters?
I divided the 1.20 kg by 1.35x10^10 cells to get 8.88x10^-11 g/cell and converted that to grams to get 8.88x10^-8 g/ cell.
I just don't know where else to go from there, can some one please help me figure this out, the homework is due tonight, and it is the only questions left.
Edit: I'm not lookinf for just the answers, I would really like for someone to "walk" me through this problem so that I can figure it out, I just don't know where to take it from my last step above.
