Assume that the particles are spherical in shape with a diameter of 1 micron; that is, a radius of 0.5 microns. Each particle therefore has a volume of 0.5236 cubic microns, approx.
Now the volume to be filled is 1 cm3 = (104 microns)3 = 1012 cubic microns.
The highest density that can be achieved for sphere packing is pi/sqrt(18) so the maximum volume that the spheres can occupy is pi/sqrt(18)*1012 cubic microns = 7.405*1011 cubic microns.
At 0.5236 cubic microns each, this represents 1.4142*1012 particles or sqrt(2)*1012 of them.

Which unit would use to measure a carton of juice?
Depends if you're interested in its linear dimensions or its volume. All of these could be used: -- inch -- millimeter -- centimeter -- meter -- milliliter -- cubic centimeter -- cubic inch -- liter -- fluid ounce
How many milliliters are in 10 cm?
One cubic centimeter equals one milliliter, so there would be 10 milliliters in 10 cubic centimeters.
How many cc in 0.75 liters?
There are 1000 milliliters in a liter. A milliliter and a cubic centimeter are equivalent, so there are 1000 cubic centimeters in a liter. .75 liters would have 750 cc's. If you multiply 1000 by .75, the answer is 750.
