The lab “Aluminum Atoms” was designed to determine whether heavy-duty or house hold aluminum foil was the thicker than the other and to show the different atomic calculations of each type of foil. It was learned that heavy-duty foil is thicker than the household aluminum foil. An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element. Avogardo’s number‚ 6.02 x 1023‚ is the number of particles found in one mole of a substance. The molar mass is the weight of one mole (or 6.02 x 1023 molecules) of any chemical
