The radius of a copper atom is 1.3⋅10^−10m. How many times N can you divide evenly a 11.1 cm long line of copper atoms until it is reduced to a single copper atom?

Respuesta :

Given :

Radius of copper atom , [tex]r=1.3\times 10^{-10}\ m[/tex] .

Length , l = 11.1 cm = 0.0111 m .

To Find :

How many times N can you divide to reduced to a single copper atom.

Solution :

Number of time cuts required is equal to total number of atoms .

[tex]N=\dfrac{0.0111}{2\times1.3\times 10^{-10}}\\\\N=4.27\times 10^{-7}[/tex]

Therefore , number of time we need to divide the rod is equal to [tex]4.27\times 10^{-7}[/tex].

Hence , this is the required solution .
