The discussion revolves around calculating the nuclear density of the oxygen element, with specific reference to its molar mass and the relationship between mass and volume. Participants explore how to derive the necessary volume for this calculation.
The conversation includes various interpretations of density, with some participants providing context about Avogadro's number and its historical references. There is no explicit consensus on the approach to calculating nuclear density, but multiple perspectives are being explored.
Participants note the temperature dependence of atomic densities and the distinction between the density of gases and that of nuclei. There is also mention of the confusion surrounding the terminology related to Avogadro's number and its historical attribution.
The numerical value was first estimated by Johann Josef Loschmidt in 1865 using the kinetic gas theory. In German-speaking countries, the number may still be referred to as Loschmidt's number.
If you do mean density of the O NUCLEUS, it is a completely different thing.kidia said:Calculate the nuclear density of Oxygen element.As I know the molar mass number is 15.9994 and the density is mass/volume how can I get the volume inorder to calculate the density?
Well, I studied German in high school and unversity, and I worked on projects with German companies, so I learned that Avogadro's number is generally called Loschmidt's number or constant in Germany and parts of Europe, basically German-speaking countries. As to why, I am not sure.PPonte said:Astronuc, you called to the number of particles of one mole Avogadro's/Loschmidt's number. I just knew it by Avogadro's number and did a search in wikipedia. It says:
So, do you know why is it generally called Avogadro's number if it was Loschmidt who estimated it?
