The unit of length convenient on the atomic scale is known as an angstrom and is denoted by The size of a hydrogen atom is about 0.5 . What is the total atomic volume in of a mole of hydrogen atoms?
One mole of an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure occupies 22.4 L (molar volume). What is the ratio of molar volume to the atomic volume of a mole of hydrogen? (Take the size of the hydrogen molecule to be about 1 Å).

It is claimed that two caesium clocks if allowed to run for 100 years, free from any disturbance, may differ by only about 0.02 sec. What does this imply for the accuracy of the standard caesium clock in measuring a time interval of 1 sec?
What will be the average mass density of a sodium atom (assuming its size to be about )?
A LASER is a source of very intense, monochromatic, and a unidirectional beam of light. These properties of laser light can be exploited to measure long distances. The distance of the Moon from the Earth has been already determined very precisely using a laser as a source of light. A laser light beamed at the Moon takes 2.56 s to return after reflection at the Moon’s surface. How much is the radius of the lunar orbit around the Earth?
