I think it is that they use the same process which is oxidation
Answer:
Most deliquescent substances are salts. Examples include sodium hydroxide , potassium, hydroxide, ammonium chloride, gold
They can use the properties to test and come to some kind of conslusion about the object because in some way it's gotta correlate back to one of the different properties of matter.
D = m / V
It even gives you the density of gold in the problem. Major hint. Once you know the volume (using V = m / D) then you can calculate the height (thickness) from the equation...
V = L x W x H
Volume = Length x Width x Height
start by converting 200.0 mg into grams
1000 mg = 1 g
200. mg x (1 g / 10^3 mg) = 0.200 g
V = m / D
V = 0.200 g / (19.32 g/cm^3)
V = 0.01035 cm^3
Convert 2.4 ft and 1 ft to cm
2.4 ft x (12 in / 1 ft) x (2.54 cm / 1 in) = 73.15 cm
1 ft = 30.48 cm
Compute the height (thickness)
V = LxWxH
H = V / LW = 0.01035 cm^3 / 73.15 cm / 30.48 cm
H = 4.64 x 10^-6 cm
Convert to nanometers
4.64 x 10^-6 cm x (1 m / 100 cm) x (10^9 nm / 1 m) = 46.4 nm
Knowing the atomic radius of gold, I might have asked my students for the minimum number of gold atoms in this thickness of gold. This would assume that the gold atoms are all in a row. This would give the minimum number of gold atoms.
Atomic radius gold = 174 pm
Diameter = 348 pm
46.4 nm x (1 m / 10^9 nm) x (10^12 pm / 1 m) x (1 Au atom / 248 pm) = 133 atoms of gold
