    Density
In summary, the conversation discusses how to calculate the density of a Carbon nuclear given its mass and the radius of a ball-shaped atom. The formula for calculating density is mentioned, along with the need to convert units from grams to kilograms. The conversation ends with the mention of two resources for unit conversion.

Assume that all the mass of an atom is concentrated in his nuclear it have a Ball-shaped with a radius r=1.5x10^-5pm (1pm=10^-12).

if the mass of a Carbon atom is 2.0x10^3 what is the density of the Carbon nuclear ?

Assume the volume of a ball is 4/3*pi*r^3.


i know we need to use in d=m/v but i don't know exactly how to Convert units from, gr to kg etc.

thnaks.

1. What is the formula for calculating the density of a carbon atom's nucleus?

The formula for calculating the density of a carbon atom's nucleus is: Density = (mass of nucleus)/(volume of nucleus).

2. How do you determine the mass of a carbon atom's nucleus?

The mass of a carbon atom's nucleus can be determined using the atomic mass of carbon, which is approximately 12 atomic mass units (amu).

3. What is the volume of a carbon atom's nucleus?

The volume of a carbon atom's nucleus is estimated to be around 0.0000000000000000000000016 cubic meters.

4. How does the density of a carbon atom's nucleus compare to the density of the entire atom?

The density of a carbon atom's nucleus is much higher than the density of the entire atom. This is because the nucleus contains almost all of the mass of the atom, but occupies a very small volume.

5. Can the density of a carbon atom's nucleus be measured experimentally?

No, the density of a carbon atom's nucleus cannot be measured experimentally as it is incredibly small and difficult to isolate. Scientists must rely on theoretical calculations to estimate its density.
