A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Ignoring the joke.
A metric cup is 250 ml.
250 ml = 250 g (the density of water is intentionally 1.000 g / ml)
Water ~= 18 g/mol ( H 1.008 g/mol, O 16.something g/mol)
250 g / 18 g/mol = 13.8 mol
13.8 mol * 6 * 10^23 atoms/mol = 8.33 * 10^24 molecules of water
And there are two atoms of H in one molecule of water, so 1.66*10^25 atoms of hydrogen in a glass of water.
That's a lot
At least twice as much!
There's also more hydrogen in a glass of water than oxygen.
Only if you're counting atoms. There's more oxygen by weight.
Well, that’s true in our solar system.
Ours is the only Solar System, named after our star Sol. Others are generically called star systems or stellar systems.
Who else counted the fingers before reading the text? I save you the hassle, it's 5.
Alright, I know where they went wrong here. There are more hydrogen atoms in a glass of water than stars in the universe.
There are about 1.58 x 10^25 hydrogen molecules in 8oz of water, and there are an estimated 10^22 - 10^24 stars in the universe.
Edit: super script markdown wasn't working
Is it wrong? I'll do some complex math, so feel free to ask follow up questions.
Hydrogen atoms in one molecule of water: 2
Stars in the entire solar system: 1
2 is larger than 1 [citation needed]
I'm sorry for your poor reading comprehension.
... Read the image again. Go on.
Read my comment explaining the mistake they made. Go on.
a hydrogen molecule is H2, this is about water
Did they read “a mole” and misinterpret it as “molecule” when writing the headline?
