Question
Indiana Jones replaces the idol with a bag of sand of approximately equal volume: (Denisty of gold = 19.32g/cm3) ; density of sand = 2 g/cm3.)
A. Did he have a reasonable chance of not activating the mass-sensitive booby trap? Justify your reasoning.
B. Using a calculation, what is the mass of 1 liter of sand compared to 1 liter of gold?

The chunk of sodium has a mass (in kilograms) equal to the atomic number of fluorine. A tremendous explosion follows emitting light and heat able to be observed from a drone flying at an altitude of approximately 53 m. How many atoms of sodium from the original chunk remain in Wisconsin after the reaction is complete? This is an MCAT style question.
