From the information in this chapter on the mass of the proton,
the mass of the electron, and the sizes of the nucleus and the
atom, calculate the densities of a hydrogen nucleus and a hydrogen
atom. (Radius of hydrogen atom is 1 ✕ 10-8 cm.)
density of hydrogen nucleus
______g/cm3
ddensity of hydrogen atom
___________g/cm3
A hydrogen nucleus is a proton and the mass of a proton is 1.67*10^-24g
Radius of hydrogen atom is 1 ✕ 10-8 cm
volume = 4/3r^3
= 4/3*3.14*(10^-8)^3 = 4.186*10^-24cm^3
density of nucleus = mass/volume
= 1.67*10^-24g/ 4.186*10^-24cm^3 = 0.398g/cm^3
A hydrogen nucleus is a proton and the mass of a proton is = 1.67*10^-24g + electrons = 1.67*10^-24g
Radius of hydrogen atom is 1 ✕ 10-8 cm
volume = 4/3r^3
= 4/3*3.14*(10^-8)^3 = 4.186*10^-24cm^3
density of hydrogen = mass/volume
= 1.67*10^-24g/ 4.186*10^-24cm^3 = 0.398g/cm^3
