(a)
Interpretation:
The average density of the carbon atom is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of that substance. The average density is the average of densities of the substance in the multiple forms. For example, carbon has two isotopes having different masses. Then the average density of carbon is equal to the average mass of carbon divided by its volume.

Answer to Problem 62E
The average density of carbon atom is
Explanation of Solution
The formula of the density of a substance is shown below.
The average density of the substance is equal to the average of the densities of the substance.
In the case of isotopes, the mass of atom only changes not the volume of atom. Therefore, the average density in case of isotopes can be calculated by the formula shown below.
The
The volume of carbon atom is given
Substitute the values of average atomic mass and volume in equation (1).
The relation used to convert the atomic mass unit into grams is
The average density of carbon atom is
The average density of carbon atom is calculated as
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why the density of the carbon atom is so much larger than any of its form is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of that substance. The average density is the average of densities of the substance in the multiple forms. For example, carbon has two isotopes having different masses. Then the average density of carbon is equal to the average mass of carbon divided by its volume.

Answer to Problem 62E
The density of carbon atom is more because in the carbon forms, the packing of atoms in the crystals is associated with an increase in the volume due to spaces in the crystal. The density is inversely proportional to the volume.
Explanation of Solution
The density of the carbon atom is larger than either of its form as calculated above in part (a). This is because while the formation of the carbon solid the packing of the atoms in the crystal is associated with some spaces. These spaces present in the crystal creates an extra volume due to which the density of the carbon forms falls down. The density is inversely proportional to the volume. More is the volume, lesser will be the density.
The reason why the carbon atom has more density than either of its forms is rightfully stated above.
(c)
Interpretation:
The volume of the nucleus of the carbon atom is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The radius of the nucleus of an atom is very much smaller than the radius of the atom. All the mass of an atom lies inside the nucleus of an atom. The mass of an atom is due to its neutrons and protons and they are present in the nucleus.

Answer to Problem 62E
The volume of the nucleus of the carbon atom is
Explanation of Solution
It is given that. the radius of the carbon atom is roughly
Mathematically,
The volume of carbon atom is given as
Substitute the value of volume of carbon atom and rearrange to find out volume of nucleus as shown below.
The volume of nucleus of carbon atom is
The volume of nucleus of carbon atom is calculated as
(d)
Interpretation:
The average density of the carbon nucleus is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of that substance. The average density is the average of densities of the substance in the multiple forms. For example, carbon has two isotopes having different masses. Then the average density of carbon is equal to the average mass of carbon divided by its volume.

Answer to Problem 62E
The average density of the carbon nucleus is
Explanation of Solution
The formula of the density of a substance is shown below.
The average density of the substance is equal to the average of the densities of the substance.
In the case of isotopes, the mass of nucleus only changes not the volume of nucleus therefore; the average density in case of isotopes can be calculated by the formula shown below.
The average atomic mass of the carbon nucleus is
The volume of the carbon nucleus is calculated above is
Substitute the values of average atomic mass and volume in equation (1).
The relation to convert the atomic mass unit into grams is
Therefore,
The average density of carbon nucleus is
The average density of carbon nucleus is calculated as
(e)
Interpretation:
The mass of the sphere completely filled with carbon nuclei is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of that substance. The average density is the average of densities of the substance in the multiple forms. For example, carbon has two isotopes having different masses. Then the average density of carbon is equal to the average mass of carbon divided by its volume.

Answer to Problem 62E
The mass of the sphere completely filled with carbon nuclei is
