The correct Answer is:
To find the density of the \( _{6}^{12}C \) nucleus, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the mass of the \( _{6}^{12}C \) nucleus. The atomic mass of the \( _{6}^{12}C \) nucleus is given as \( 12 \, \text{amu} \). We need to convert this mass into kilograms. \[ \text{Mass} = 12 \, \text{amu} \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg/amu} = 12 \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the volume of the \( _{6}^{12}C \) nucleus. The volume \( V \) of a nucleus can be calculated using the formula: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \] where \( R \) is the radius of the nucleus. The radius \( R \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ R = R_0 A^{1/3} \] where \( R_0 = 1.2 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m} \) and \( A = 12 \) (the mass number of carbon). Calculating the radius: \[ R = 1.2 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m} \times 12^{1/3} \] Calculating \( 12^{1/3} \): \[ 12^{1/3} \approx 2.29 \] Now substituting this value back into the equation for \( R \): \[ R \approx 1.2 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m} \times 2.29 \approx 2.748 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m} \] Now substituting \( R \) into the volume formula: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (2.748 \times 10^{-15})^3 \] Calculating \( V \): \[ V \approx \frac{4}{3} \pi (2.748 \times 10^{-15})^3 \approx 8.66 \times 10^{-45} \, \text{m}^3 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the density of the \( _{6}^{12}C \) nucleus. Density \( \rho \) is given by the formula: \[ \rho = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} \] Substituting the values we have calculated: \[ \rho = \frac{12 \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27}}{8.66 \times 10^{-45}} \] Calculating \( \rho \): \[ \rho \approx \frac{1.992 \times 10^{-26}}{8.66 \times 10^{-45}} \approx 2.30 \times 10^{17} \, \text{kg/m}^3 \] ### Final Answer: The density of the \( _{6}^{12}C \) nucleus is approximately \( 2.30 \times 10^{17} \, \text{kg/m}^3 \). ---
