Question: Calculate the number density (number per unit volume) for (a) Molecules of oxygen gas at 0.0 o C and 1.0 atm pressure and (b) Conduction

Calculate the number density (number per unit volume) for 

(a) Molecules of oxygen gas at 0.0oC and 1.0 atm pressure and 

(b) Conduction electrons in copper. 

(c) What is the ratio of the latter to the former? What is the average distance between? 

(d) The oxygen molecules and 

(e) The conduction electrons, assuming this distance is the edge length of a cube with a volume equal to the available volume per particle (molecule or electron)?
