Exercise 1.1. Many centuries ago, a mariner poured 100 cm 3 of water into the ocean. As time
passed, the action of currents, tides, and weather mixed the liquid uniformly throughout the
earth’s oceans, lakes, and rivers. Ignoring salinity, estimate the probability that the next sip (5
ml) of water you drink will contain at least one water molecule that was dumped by the mariner.
Assess your chances of ever drinking truly pristine water. (Consider the following facts: M w for
water is 18.0 kg per kg-mole, the radius of the earth is 6370 km, the mean depth of the oceans is
approximately 3.8 km and they cover 71% of the surface of the earth.)
Solution 1.1. To get started, first list or determine the volumes involved:
υd = volume of water dumped = 100 cm 3 ,
υc = volume of a sip = 5 cm3 , and
V = volume of water in the oceans =

γ ,
where, R is the radius of the earth, D is the mean depth of the oceans, and
γ is the oceans'
coverage fraction. Here we've ignored the ocean volume occupied by salt and have assumed that
the oceans' depth is small compared to the earth's diameter. Putting in the numbers produces:
€
V = 4
π (6.37 ×10 6 m) 2 (3.8 ×10 3 m)(0.71) = 1.376 ×1018 m3 .
For well-mixed oceans, the probability Po that any water molecule in the ocean came from the
dumped water is:
€
Po = (100 cm 3 of water)
(oceans' volume) =
υd
V = 1.0 ×10−4 m3
1.376 ×1018 m3 = 7.27 ×10−23 ,
Denote the probability that at least one molecule from the dumped water is part of your next sip
as P1 (this is the answer to the question). Without a lot of combinatorial analysis, P1 is not easy
to calculate directly. It is easier to proceed by determining the probability P2 that all the
molecules in your cup are not from the dumped water. With these definitions, P1 can be
determined from: P1 = 1 – P2 . Here, we can calculate P2 from:
P2 = (the probability that a molecule was not in the dumped water) [number of molecules in a sip] .
The number of molecules, Nc, in one sip of water is (approximately)
N c = 5cm3 × 1.00g
cm3 × gmole
18.0g × 6.023×10 23 molecules
gmole = 1.673×10 23 molecules
Thus, P2 = (1− Po )N c = (1− 7.27 ×10−23 )1.673×10 23
. Unfortunately, electronic calculators and modern
computer math programs cannot evaluate this expression, so analytical techniques are required.
First, take the natural log of both sides, i.e.
ln(P2 ) = N c ln(1− Po ) = 1.673×10 23 ln(1− 7.27 ×10−23 )
then expand the natural logarithm using ln(1–
ε) ≈ –
ε (the first term of a standard Taylor series
for
€
ε → 0)
ln(P2 ) ≅ −N c ⋅ Po = −1.673×10 23 ⋅ 7.27 ×10−23 = −12.16 ,
and exponentiate to find:
P2 ≅ e−12.16 ≅ 5×10−6 ... (!)
Therefore, P1 = 1 – P2 is very close to unity, so there is a virtual certainty that the next sip of
water you drink will have at least one molecule in it from the 100 cm3 of water dumped many
years ago. So, if one considers the rate at which they themselves and everyone else on the planet
uses water it is essentially impossible to enjoy a truly fresh sip.

Exercise 1.2. An adult human expels approximately 500 ml of air with each breath during
ordinary breathing. Imagining that two people exchanged greetings (one breath each) many
centuries ago, and that their breath subsequently has been mixed uniformly throughout the
atmosphere, estimate the probability that the next breath you take will contain at least one air
molecule from that age-old verbal exchange. Assess your chances of ever getting a truly fresh
breath of air. For this problem, assume that air is composed of identical molecules having M w =
29.0 kg per kg-mole and that the average atmospheric pressure on the surface of the earth is 100
kPa. Use 6370 km for the radius of the earth and 1.20 kg/m 3 for the density of air at room
temperature and pressure.

atmosphere. For a well-mixed atmosphere, the probability Po that any molecule in the
atmosphere came from the age-old verbal exchange is
