Hi. First time asking question here so sorry if format is wrong.
Question:
Gold leaf, which is used for many decorative purposes is made by hammering pure gold into very thin sheets. Assuming that a sheet of gold leaf is 1.27x10^-5 cm thick, how many square meters of gold leaf could be obtained from 28.35 g of gold.
I know Density equals M/V and Volume equals M/D
I've devised that 28.35 is the mass, but I don't know what the volume is, or what I'm even trying to find (Volume or Density? I'm guessing volume)
All help welcome. Thanks a lot.
