Answer:
<u><em>To answer this question we assumed that the area units and the thickness units are given in inches.</em></u>
The number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.
Explanation:
To find the number of atoms of lead we need to find first the volume of the plate:
<u>Where</u>:
A: is the surface area = 160
t: is the thickness = 0.002
<u><em>Assuming that the units given above are in inches we proceed to calculate the volume: </em></u>
Now, using the density we can find the mass:
Finally, with the Avogadros number () and with the atomic mass (A) we can find the number of atoms (N):
Hence, the number of atoms of lead required is 1.73x10²³.
