The U.S. Mint produces a dollar coin called the American Silver Eagle that is made of nearly pure silver. This coin has a diameter of 41 mmmm and a thickness of 2.5 mmmm. The density and approximate market price of silver are 10.5 g/cm3g/cm3 and $0.58 per gram, respectively. Calculate the value of the silver in the coin, assuming its thickness is uniform. Express your answer in dollars to the nearest dollar.

One mole of silicon (6x1023 atoms) has a mass of 28 grams, as shown in the periodic table on the inside front cover of the textbook. The density of silicon is 2.4 grams/cm³. What is the approximate diameter of a silicon atom (length of a bond) in a solid block of the material? Make the simplifying assumption that the atoms are arranged in a "cubic" array, as shown in the figure. Remember to convert to SI units. d =
