Materials Science and Engineering Shackelford, 6th. Ed.

An optical fiber used for telecommunications, made with SiO2. Avogadro NA = Density = Diameter D = Area A = Length L = Volume V = mass = 6.02E+23 2.20E+06 1.00E-05 7.85E-11 1.00E-03 7.85E-14 V*= g/m3 m m2 m m3 1.73E-07 g

Calculation of molecular weight for chemical compound: Molecular weight No. of atoms M Oxygen 16.000 2 32.000 Silicon 28.086 1 28.086 SiO2 Molecular weight SUM: M = 60.086 Number of moles of the chemical compound molg n=m/M= 2.88E-09 Nmol = n * NA = ANSWER: Number of Oxygen atoms: Number of Silicon atoms: SiO2
