The nucleus of an atom is spherical. The relation between radius of the nucleus and mass number A is given by `1.25xx10^(-13)xxA^((1)/(3))cm`. If radius of atom is one`Å` and the mass number is 64, then the fraction of the atomic volume that is occupied by the nucleus is `(x)xx10^(-13)`. Calculate x

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the fraction of the atomic volume that is occupied by the nucleus of an atom given the mass number \( A = 64 \) and the radius of the atom as \( 1 \, \text{Å} \) (which is \( 10^{-8} \, \text{cm} \)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the Radius of the Nucleus:** The formula for the radius of the nucleus \( R \) in terms of mass number \( A \) is given by: \[ R = 1.25 \times 10^{-13} \times A^{1/3} \, \text{cm} \] Substituting \( A = 64 \): \[ R = 1.25 \times 10^{-13} \times 64^{1/3} \] First, calculate \( 64^{1/3} \): \[ 64^{1/3} = 4 \] Now, substituting this value back: \[ R = 1.25 \times 10^{-13} \times 4 = 5.0 \times 10^{-13} \, \text{cm} \] 2. **Calculate the Volume of the Nucleus:** The volume \( V \) of a sphere is given by: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \] Substituting the radius of the nucleus: \[ V_{\text{nucleus}} = \frac{4}{3} \pi (5.0 \times 10^{-13})^3 \] Calculating \( (5.0 \times 10^{-13})^3 \): \[ (5.0)^3 = 125 \quad \text{and} \quad (10^{-13})^3 = 10^{-39} \] Thus, \[ (5.0 \times 10^{-13})^3 = 125 \times 10^{-39} \, \text{cm}^3 \] Now, substituting back into the volume formula: \[ V_{\text{nucleus}} = \frac{4}{3} \pi (125 \times 10^{-39}) = \frac{500\pi}{3} \times 10^{-39} \, \text{cm}^3 \] 3. **Calculate the Volume of the Atom:** The radius of the atom is given as \( 1 \, \text{Å} = 10^{-8} \, \text{cm} \). Thus, \[ V_{\text{atom}} = \frac{4}{3} \pi (10^{-8})^3 \] Calculating \( (10^{-8})^3 \): \[ (10^{-8})^3 = 10^{-24} \] Therefore, \[ V_{\text{atom}} = \frac{4}{3} \pi (10^{-24}) \, \text{cm}^3 \] 4. **Calculate the Fraction of Atomic Volume Occupied by the Nucleus:** The fraction \( f \) of the atomic volume that is occupied by the nucleus is given by: \[ f = \frac{V_{\text{nucleus}}}{V_{\text{atom}}} \] Substituting the volumes we calculated: \[ f = \frac{\frac{500\pi}{3} \times 10^{-39}}{\frac{4}{3} \pi \times 10^{-24}} = \frac{500 \times 10^{-39}}{4 \times 10^{-24}} \] Simplifying this expression: \[ f = \frac{500}{4} \times 10^{-39 + 24} = 125 \times 10^{-15} \] 5. **Express the Fraction in the Required Form:** We need to express \( f \) in the form \( x \times 10^{-13} \): \[ f = 1.25 \times 10^{-13} \] Thus, \( x = 1.25 \). ### Final Answer: The value of \( x \) is \( 1.25 \).
