"Dilithium" is the fuel for the Starship Enterprise. However, because its density is quite low, you will need a large space to store a large mass. As an estimate for the volume required, we shall use the element lithium.
(a) If you want to have
287 mol for an interplanetary trip, what must the volume of a piece of lithium be?
(No Response)
3730

3 (b) If the piece of lithium is a cube, what is the dimension of an edge of the cube? (The density of lithium is 0.534 g/cm
3 at 20°C.)
(No Response)
