What do you think is bigger?

What do you think the units of measurement are?

What type of material do you think?

We need your answers before we can help. :)

Thanks, i have got most of the answer.

The size i mean is really just spaces a molecule can take. And i asume that 1 oxygen molecule is taken more space than 1 water molecule.

The materials i know i only can find something with holes so small that only water's molecules can pass. But i really cannot think of any and can't sure that this kind of materials exist on the market.

Can you give me any sugguestion? thanks

Molecular  Volume (WATER)= 158.795 bohr**3/mol
Molecular Volume OF (O2)= 270.287 bohr**3/mol
