Determine the number of hydrogen atoms in the Sun. The mass of the Sun is 2×1030kg. About 70% of it by mass is hydrogen, 30% is helium, and there is a negligible amount of other elements.

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]8.36541\times 10^{56}[/tex]

Explanation:

Mass of the sum = [tex]2\times 10^{30}\ kg[/tex]

70% of this mass is

[tex]0.7\times 2\times 10^{30}=1.4\times 10^{30}\ kg[/tex]

Mass of hydrogen in the sun is [tex]1.4\times 10^{30}\ kg[/tex]

Mass of a hydrogen atom = [tex]1.6735575\times 10^{-27}\ kg[/tex]

Dividing the mass hydrogen in the sun by the mass of one hydrogen atom will give us the number of hydrogen atoms

[tex]\frac{1.4\times 10^{30}}{1.6735575\times 10^{-27}}=8.36541\times 10^{56}[/tex]

The number hydrogen atoms in the Sun is [tex]8.36541\times 10^{56}[/tex]
