Counting atoms in a sheet of aluminum foil?

How many atoms are there in a piece of aluminum foil, 3.6 inches in length and 12.0 inches in width, and 0.081 mm thick?(According to the Alcoa website, aluminum foil is a flat-rolled product, rectangular in cross section, of thickness from 0.006quot;(0.15mm) to 0.00025quot;(0.006mm).The density of Al is 2.699 g/cm3)

Answer:

Use NoxonIt works better.
change the dimensions to cmmultiply L x W x Thickness to get cm^3multiply by density to get mass in grams divide grams by molecular weight to get molesmultiply by 6.022 x 10^23 to get atoms.
