Consider the mass of iron nucleus as 55.85 u and A = 56. Then the nuclear density is:

A.

4.29×1017 kg/m34.29×10^{17}\space\text{kg}/\text{m}^3 ​​

B.

3.29×1017 kg/m33.29×10^{17}\space\text{kg}/\text{m}^3 ​​

C.

1.29×1017 kg/m31.29×10^{17}\space\text{kg}/\text{m}^3 ​​

D.

2.29×1017 kg/m32.29×10^{17}\space\text{kg}/\text{m}^3 ​​

Correct option is D

Given:Mass of iron nucleus m=55.85 uAtomic mass unit u=1.66×1027 kgAtomic number A=56Radius of nucleus R0=1.2×1015 m\text{Given:} \\\text{Mass of iron nucleus } m = 55.85 \, \text{u} \\\text{Atomic mass unit } u = 1.66 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg} \\\text{Atomic number } A = 56 \\\text{Radius of nucleus } R_0 = 1.2 \times 10^{-15} \, \text{m}

The volume of the nucleus is given by:V=43πR03A\text{The volume of the nucleus is given by:} \\V = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi R_0^3 A

Substitute the known values:V=43π(1.2×1015)3×56\text{Substitute the known values:} \\V = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi (1.2 \times 10^{-15})^3 \times 56

The nuclear density is the mass per unit volume:ρN=MV\text{The nuclear density is the mass per unit volume:} \\\rho_N = \dfrac{M}{V}

Where:M=55.85×1.66×1027 kg \text{Where:} \\M = 55.85 \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg }

Substitute the values into the equation:ρN=55.85×1.66×102743π(1.2×1015)3×56\text{Substitute the values into the equation:} \\\rho_N = \dfrac{55.85 \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27}}{\dfrac{4}{3} \pi (1.2 \times 10^{-15})^3 \times 56}

ρN=2.29×1017 kg/m3\rho_N = 2.29 \times 10^{17} \, \text{kg/m}^3​​
