- Copper:(a) Suppose you have a cube of copper metal that is 0.236 cm on a side with a mass of0.1206 g. If you know that each copper atom (radius = 128 pm) has a mass of 1.055 ×10–22 g (you will learn in Chapter 2 how to find the mass of one atom), how manyatoms are there in this cube? What fraction of the cube is filled with atoms? (Orconversely, how much of the lattice is empty space?) Why is there “empty” space in thelattice?(b) Now look at the smallest, repeating unit of the crystal lattice of copper.Knowing that an edge of this cube is 361.47 pm and the density of copper is 8.960g/cm3, calculate the number of copper atoms in this smallest, repeating unitarrow_forwardIf the density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL, how many cm3 can be produced by the fermentation of 45.4 kg of sugar?arrow_forwardIf the price of gold is $1,318.61 per troy ounce (1 troy ounce is exactly 31.1035 grams), what is the mass (in kg) of $1,000,000 of gold?arrow_forward
