A proton, which is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, can be modeled as a sphere with a diameter of 2.4fm and a mass of 1.67x10-27kg. determine the density of the proton.

Respuesta :

The density of a proton is 2.87 x 10^19 kg/m^3.

The density of a proton can be calculated by dividing its mass by its volume i.e,

Density = Mass/Volume

The mass of a proton is given to be 1.67 x 10^-27 kg.

As the proton is assumed to be a sphere, its volume will be 4/3 π r^3.

Thus, density = 1.67 x 10^-27/ (4/3 x π x r^3)

Putting radius of proton(r) = 2.4 fm = 2.4 x 10^-15 m

The density comes out to be 2.87 x 10^19 kg/m^3.

Thus, the density of a proton is 2.87 x 10^19 kg/m^3.
