1) Now, since we know it takes 6.022*10^23 protons to make 1kg I want you to tell me how many protons there are in the known universe using this data:
our star is: 1.989*10^30 kg
our galaxy is: 2*10^11 suns in mass
there are: 2.5*10^11 galaxies in the universe.
So, how many protons must there be in the Universe?
2) If there are 6.022*10^23 protons in 1 kg of mass, and there are 10^3 grams in a kilogram, what is the mass of one proton? (remember, scientific notation can be used to represent really small numbers too!)
1) Mass of 6.022 x 1023 protons = 1 kg
Mass of sun, Ms = 1.989 x 1030 kg
Mass of galaxy, Mg = 2 x 1011 suns in mass = 2 x 1011 Ms
Number of galaxies, Ng = 2.5 x 1011
Therefore,
Total mass of universe
M = Ms x Mg x Ng
M = 1.989 x 1030 x 2 x 1011 x 2.5 x 1011
M = 9.945 x 1055 kg
Total number of protons in universe = 6.022 x 1023 x M
= 6.022 x 1023 x 9.945 x 1055
= 6.022 x 1023 x 9.945 x 1055
= 5.989 x 1079 protons
Answer: Total number of protons in universe = 5.989 x 1079 protons
2) Mass of 6.022 x 1023 protons = 1 kg
Mass of 1 proton = 1/(6.022 x 1023 )
= 1.66 x 10-25 kg
Answer: Mass of 1 proton = 1.66 x 10-25 kg
