I don't believe "drop" is an accepted scientific term for a unit of
measure. Without a definition of what constitutes a drop, there's no
way to answer this question.
A drop of water has no standard unit of measure. Therefore, regardless
of how large it is, there is only ONE big "drop" in a contiguous body
of water. Your question is like asking "How many peices of ice are
there in a glacier?".
The answer is ONE - it's just a really, really big one...and THAT is your answer.
The pacific ocean has a volume of
1.268 × 10e9 km3 ( http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2001/SyedQadri.shtml )
Since there are 10e15 cubic centimeters in a cubic kilometer, there must be 10e24 cubic centimeters of water in the oceans. Remembering that a cubic centimeter is equal to a milliliter, and that our drop of water was 0.1 milliliter, we arrive at 10e25 drops of water in the Pacific.
