The Thickness of Aluminum Foil Lab In the study of Chemistry‚ we encounter very large and very small numbers. For example‚ the size of a molecule or thin layer of molecules is very‚ very small and difficult to measure directly. In order to “measure” such numbers‚ we often use one measured quantity and another known property to calculate the unknown value. In this experiment‚ we will use this approach to calculate the thickness of various types of aluminum foil‚ a quantity whose direct experimental

Abstract Ernest Rutherford’s Gold Foil Experiment was a major stepping stone one the way to discovering what the atom was really made up of. From the beginning of his research with alpha particles to his discovery of the atomic nucleus‚ Rutherford made many contributions to the microscopic world of the atom. The Rutherford Experiment‚ otherwise known as the Gold Foil Experiment‚ was the crown of his achievements‚ and it was during this experiment that he discovered the atomic nucleus. (Aydin &Hanuscin

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
