Problem 3.32

3.32 If Avogadro's number of pennies is divided equally among the 300 million men, women,

and children in the United States, how many dollars would each receive? How does this compare with the gross domestic product of the United States, which was $13.5 trillion in 2006?

We divide a mol of pennies by how many people we're giving them to, and then convert to dollars..

set up some dummy units

wow. now convert to dollars....

alrighty then.

now, what about the GDP? trillion means 1,000,000,000,000 or 1x10¹², so the GDP is 13.5 x 10¹² dollars. This means that each person would receive

an amount of dollars that equals 1.5 times GDP.
