Chapter 3: Problem 134
A die has an edge length of \(1.5 \mathrm{~cm}\). (a) What is the volume of one mole of such dice? (b) Assuming that the mole of dice could be packed in such a way that they were in contact with one another, forming stacking layers covering the entire surface of Earth, calculate the height in meters the layers would extend outward. [The radius \((r)\) of Earth is \(6371 \mathrm{~km}\), and the area of a sphere is \(4 \pi r^{2}\).]
