The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of nuclear density to water density and express it in the form \( n \times 10^{13} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Data**: - Mass of a nucleon (proton/neutron) = \( 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \) kg. - Radius of the nucleus = \( 1.5 \times 10^{-15} A^{1/3} \) m. - We need to find the ratio of nuclear density to water density. 2. **Calculate the Mass of the Nucleus**: The mass of the nucleus can be approximated as: \[ \text{Mass of nucleus} = A \times \text{mass of nucleon} = A \times 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg} \] 3. **Calculate the Volume of the Nucleus**: The volume \( V \) of the nucleus can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere: \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \] Substituting \( r = 1.5 \times 10^{-15} A^{1/3} \): \[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (1.5 \times 10^{-15} A^{1/3})^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (1.5^3 \times 10^{-45} A) = \frac{4 \pi \times 3.375 \times 10^{-45} A}{3} = 4.5 \pi \times 10^{-45} A \text{ m}^3 \] 4. **Calculate the Nuclear Density**: The nuclear density \( \rho_n \) is given by: \[ \rho_n = \frac{\text{Mass of nucleus}}{\text{Volume of nucleus}} = \frac{A \times 1.6 \times 10^{-27}}{4.5 \pi \times 10^{-45} A} \] Simplifying this: \[ \rho_n = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-27}}{4.5 \pi \times 10^{-45}} = \frac{1.6}{4.5 \pi} \times 10^{18} \text{ kg/m}^3 \] 5. **Calculate the Density of Water**: The density of water \( \rho_w \) is approximately: \[ \rho_w = 1000 \text{ kg/m}^3 \] 6. **Calculate the Ratio of Nuclear Density to Water Density**: The ratio \( R \) is: \[ R = \frac{\rho_n}{\rho_w} = \frac{\frac{1.6}{4.5 \pi} \times 10^{18}}{1000} = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{15}}{4.5 \pi} \] 7. **Calculate the Value of \( n \)**: Approximating \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ R \approx \frac{1.6 \times 10^{15}}{4.5 \times 3.14} \approx \frac{1.6 \times 10^{15}}{14.13} \approx 0.113 \times 10^{15} \approx 11.3 \times 10^{13} \] Thus, \( n \approx 11.3 \). ### Final Answer: The value of \( n \) is approximately **11**.
