Objective:
The objective of this experiment was to determine the size of a zinc atom by
reacting the galvanized zinc with 6.0m HCl.
Procedure:
On sheet (simple enough you do not need to repeat it)
Data and Calculations:
Initial mass of washer= 9.65260g
Diameter of washer= 3.8cm
Diameter of washer whole= 1.0cm
Final mass of washer= 7.9630g
1. Mass Change Subtract the final mass from the initial mass.
9.6526g-7.9630g= 1.6896g mass change
2. Volume of Zinc Coating= Mass Change Density of Zinc
1.6896g/7.14g/cm3= .237g/cm3
where dzinc = 7.14 g/cm3
3. Area of Zinc Coating= 2 (ro 2 ri 2 )
where
ro is the outer radius of the washer;
ri is the inner radius of the washer
multiplied by two to account for both sides
2 (3.8cm 1cm)= 17.59cm2
4. Thickness of Zinc Coating (cm)= Volume of Zinc Coating Area of Zinc
Coating
.237g/cm3/17.59= .0135cm
5. Thickness of Zinc Coating (atoms)
Zinc (cm) x 1 meter/100cm x 1x1012/1m x 1atom Zn/268
.135 x 1 meter/100cm x 1x1012/1m x 1atom Zn/268= 5.04 x 106 atoms of
zinc thick
if wanting to solve for a more accurate sample, solve using height as well:
Area of Zinc Coating 2 (ro 2 ri 2 ) + 2 ro h + 2 ri h
where
ro is the outer radius of the washer;
ri is the inner radius of the washer; and,
h is the height of the washer.
