Question

Size of an Atom

Length of galvanized iron (cm)                                                   2.7cm

Width of galvanized iron (cm)                                                     1.4 cm

Mass of galvanized iron to start (g)                                           1.50 grams

Mass of iron with zinc removed (g)                                          1.40 grams

Mass of zinc removed (g)                                                              .10 grams

Using the above calculations answer the following questions:

 

  1. The density of zinc is 7.14 g/cm3 . Using the density formula, calculate the total volume of zinc removed from the galvanized iron______?
  2. The galvanized iron has two sides. Therefore half of the volume calculated above are coating each side of the galvanized iron. What is the volume of zinc on each side of the galvanized iron__________?
  3. The coating on each side of the piece of galvanized iron has the shape of a rectangular solid with a very small thickness or height. We can calculate this thickness using the volume of a rectangular solid formula because we know the length, width, and volume of the zinc coating. Calculate the thickness of the zinc coating.___________?
  4. Convert the thickness of the coating to a number in proper scientific notation._______________?
  5. The diameter of a single zinc atom has been determined to be 2.7 x 10-8 Calculate the number of layers of zinc atoms in the zinc coating.     ________________________ layers?
