Gold, which has a mass of 19.32g for each cubic centimeter of volume, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long fiber.
a) If the sample of Gold, with a mass of 27.63 g is pressed into a leaf of 1.000 micrometer thickness, what is the area of the leaf?
Would it be correct to use 27.63g / 19.32g = cubic centimeters? I don't think this would be right because it doesn't take into account the 1.000 micrometer...
b) If, instead the Gold is drawn into a cylindrical fiber with radius 2.500 micrometers, what is the length of the fiber?
What equations would I need to solve this problem? Thanks, this problem has been really bugging me.
