You find an old book and decide to estimate the thickness of one of the sheets or leafs. Neglecting the front and back cover, if all the sheets of book are 3 inches thick, and has 1024 marked pages (numbered 1 to 1024), what is the approximate thickness of the sheet in units of mm.
Hint: Each sheet of leaf of paper has 2 pages (think about any textbook or magazine).
The density of platinum is 21.45 x 103 kg/m3.
a. Calculate the volume (in m3/atom) occupied per platinum atom
b. Estimate the atomic diameter (in m);(The estimate uses the approximation that it is a cubic volume)
c. Using this estimation, calculate the thickness of a metal foil (in m) containing 2.0 x 101 atomic layers of platinum.
