Can you solve the riddle?

Trivia Quest:
Our curious little friend has been pondering alkynes of scientific questions. (See what we did there?)  On that topic, he wondered what distance (in meters) would be covered if he were able to line up one mole of acetylene molecules, end-to-end.  It’s time to stop pondering and start calculating. 

For this calculation, use the following figures. 

Approximate length of an acetylene molecule: 3.32 angstroms (3.32 X 10-10 m) 

1 mole = 6.022 X 1023
