One mole of Gold (Au) atom has a mass of 197 g. We know that the density of gold is 19.30 g/cm3 in room temperature. Using those numbers, answer the following questions:
a) What is the mass of a single gold atom in kg?
b) Assume that gold atoms sit in a perfect cubic crystal structure. Estimate the distance between two gold atoms in meters.
c) If we have a gold cube of 6 cm on each side, how many atoms can we fit along the edge of each side of the cube?
d) What would be the mass, in kilograms, of the gold cube we discussed in part (c) (measuring 6 cm on each side)?
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.
