Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long fiber. (a) If a sample of gold with a mass of 6.740 g, is pressed into a leaf of 6.036 μm thickness, what is the area of the leaf? (b) If, instead, the gold is drawn out into a cylindrical fiber of radius 2.100 μm, what is the length of the fiber?​

Answer:

a) 578.0 cm²

b) 25.18 km

Explanation:

We're given the density and mass, so first calculate the volume.

D = M / V

V = M / D

V = (6.740 g) / (19.32 g/cm³)

V = 0.3489 cm³

a) The volume of any uniform flat shape (prism) is the area of the base times the thickness.

V = Ah

A = V / h

A = (0.3489 cm³) / (6.036×10⁻⁴ cm)

A = 578.0 cm²

b) The volume of a cylinder is pi times the square of the radius times the length.

V = πr²h

h = V / (πr²)

h = (0.3489 cm³) / (π (2.100×10⁻⁴ cm)²)

h = 2.518×10⁶ cm

h = 25.18 km
