If you want a real life scale then:
1000 cm3 = 1 litre (As in 1 litre fruit juice)
10cm3 = 10ml (About 2 teaspoon)
1cm3 is a drop here but this drop would be a pretty big one relative to normal drops, like a square of 1cm by 1cm by 1cm

But this just basically is trying to say that atoms and molecules are small and that color requires many particles and not a single one. Maths is not very important I guess.

Thanks...
I thought so too.. About the Math.

Calculate the heat required to convert 5kg of ice at -20 C into steam at 100 C. The specific heat capacities of water and ice are, respectively, 4200 and 2100 J/(kg K) ; The specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 340 000 J/kg , and the specific latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.3* 10^6 J/kg.

The final ans is 15510 000 J. see if u get it right

Just have a small doubt in june 2014 p31 qtn2(e) (0610)
Comparing the test tube 1 and 4 there was a point in ms that nothing in (cell wall of ) bacteria B for lysosome to digest. What does this sentence means....can someone plzz explain this sentence... :)

Lysozyme has the ability to break down bacterial call walls, mostly the walls that contain carbohydrates
But type B bacteria was not killed so this shows that it has become resistant, it has its cell wall made up of some different substance which lysozyme can not break/digest
