The core of the sun is a plasma. It is at a temperature of the order of `10^(7)` K and contains equal number of protons and electrons. The density of the core of the Sun is `10^(5) kg m^(–3)` . Assume that molar mass of proton is `1 "g mol"^(–1)` and the mass of an electron to be negligible compared to the mass of a proton. Estimate the pressure at the core of the sun. Assume that plasma behaves like an ideal gas.
