Instagram, short for instant gramming, is a game-changing social media website. Users take pictures and insert them into posts called clumps, which weigh 1 gram. They can be given hashtags, which send posts into different groves. Instagram's heaviest grove revolves around love; the combined weight of all clumps is a whopping 2.1 × 109 grams. In other words, that's 2.1 billion grams. Using the power of stoichiometry, we can make the following conversion:
- 2.1 × 109
grams× (1 kilogram/1,000grams) = 2.1 × 106 (or 2.1 million)kilograms
But that doesn't even come close to the total weight of all clumps, which is 4.0 × 1010 (40 billion) grams, or 4.0 × 107 (40 million) kilograms.
Despite all this, our cellphones are light, even if they have Instagram activated. So the question is, how can our phones withstand 40 billion grams worth of clumps?
