(a) If a typical C540 buckyball can be modelled by a sphere with a diameter of 2.7 nm, what would you expect the volume of a C180 fullrene to be? (i.e. a buckyball made up of 180 carbons)? [enter your answer in nm^3]
(b) If carbon has a mass of 12 g/mol, and the buckyball is essentially empty (i.e. it is just made up of carbons), what is the predicted density of C180180 (according to the values given in this problem)?
? = kg/m
