Calculating the Atoms in a Flake of Aluminum Foil

October 28, 2023

1.Volume Discovery: Calculate the flake's volume with the formula: Volume = Area x Thickness. Our flake boasts a volume of 0.004mm³.

2.Aluminum’s Essence: Aluminum possesses a consistent density of 2.7g/cm³.

3.Weighing the Wonder: By employing the equation: Mass = Volume x Density, we determine the flake’s mass to be 0.0108g.

4.Molar Insight: Aluminum's molar mass stands distinctively at 26.98g/mol.

5.Counting Molecules: To ascertain the number of moles in the flake, we use the ratio: Moles = Mass/Molar Mass, revealing an impressive 0.0004mol.

6.Atom Extravaganza: With Avogadro's celebrated number, 6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mol, we deduce there are roughly 2.41 x 10²⁰ vibrant atoms in our flake.
