Question #147731

Approximately how many nucleons are there in a 1 kg object

Expert's answer

Mass of object μ = 1 kg

Mass of neutron mn=1.67493×1027  kgm_n = 1.67493 \times 10^{-27} \;kg

Since the mass of nucleon = mass of neutron ≈ mass of proton

The number of nucleons

n=μmnn=11.67493×1027n=5.97×1026n = \frac{μ}{m_n} \\ n = \frac{1}{1.67493 \times 10^{-27}} \\ n = 5.97 \times 10^{26}
