The radius of an atom of gold (Au) is about 1.35 Å. How many gold atoms would have to be lined up to span 5.0 mm ?
2 answers:
1.851.10⁷ gold atoms would have to be lined up to span 5.0 mm
<h3>Further explanation</h3>There are 7 main quantities that have been determined based on international standards, namely:
- 1. Length, meters (m)
- 2. Time, second (s)
- 3. Mass, kilograms (kg)
- 4. Temperature, kelvin (K)
- 5. Light intensity, candela (cd)
- 6. Electric current, ampere (A)
- 7. Amount of substance, mol (m)
The length indicate the distance between two points in a place
The symbol is usually expressed in l, length
Length measurement can be used by several measuring instruments such as ruler, caliper length, meter, screw micrometer
The main length unit consists of 7 units :
- Kilometer, km
- Hectometer, hm
- Dekameter, dam
- Meter, m
- Decimeter, dm
- centimeter, cm
- millimeters, mm
Each one unit descends then multiplied by 10, and if one unit increases then divided by 10
For 1 Â (angstrom) equal to 10⁻⁷ mm
The radius of an atom of gold (Au) is about 1.35 Å
so the diameter = 1.35 x 2 = 2.7 Å = 2.7.10⁻⁷ mm
to be lined up to span 5.0 mm requires gold atoms :
amount of gold atom : 5.0 : 2.7.10⁻⁷ mm = 1.851.10⁷

Answer:
58.44 g/mol
Explanation:
In this problem, make sure to remember that volume is measured in mL, L or any other units of volume. Remember that g represents grams, and grams is a measure of mass.
However, independent of what mass or what volume we take, molar mass is known to be an intensive property. That is, molar mass doesn't depend on any external conditions or any measurements.
Molar mass solely depends on the chemical structure of a compound and is a constant number at any given conditions.
In this problem, we are given sodium chloride, NaCl. In order to find its molar mass, we need to refer to the periodic table, find the atomic masses of Na and Cl and then add them up to have the molar mass of NaCl:
