One mole of Gold (Au) atom has a mass of 197 g. We know that the density of gold is 19.30 g/cm3 in room temperature. Using those numbers, answer the following questions: a) What is the mass of a single gold atom in kg? b) Assume that gold atoms sit in a perfect cubic crystal structure. Estimate the distance between two gold atoms in meters. c) If we have a gold cube of 6 cm on each side, how many atoms can we fit along the edge of each side of the cube? d) What would be the mass, in kilograms, of the gold cube we discussed in part (c) (measuring 6 cm on each side)?

Suppose you require 2500 food Calories per day. a. What is your average power, in watts? b. How much energy, in joules, do you require from food in a year? Counting all forms of energy (such as gasoline, electricity, and energy for heating), the average person consumes about 350 billion joules of energy each year. Compare this value to the energy needed from food alone. a. What is your average power, in watts? Approximately 121 watts (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.) b. The energy required from food is approximately billion joules per year. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
