  • Copper Atom Calculation: Determining Atoms in a 1cm³ Cube
    Here's how to calculate the number of atoms in a 1 cm³ cube of copper:

    1. Density:

    * The density of copper is approximately 8.96 g/cm³.

    2. Molar Mass:

    * The molar mass of copper is 63.55 g/mol.

    3. Avogadro's Number:

    * Avogadro's number is 6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mol.

    Calculations:

    * Mass of the cube: 1 cm³ * 8.96 g/cm³ = 8.96 g

    * Moles of copper: 8.96 g / 63.55 g/mol = 0.141 mol

    * Number of atoms: 0.141 mol * 6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mol ≈ 8.49 x 10²² atoms

    Therefore, there are approximately 8.49 x 10²² copper atoms in a 1 cm³ cube of copper.
