b. The mass of a proton is 1.67 × 10^-27 kg. What is the mass of a proton in cg
(centigrams)?


(PIC IS THE SAME QUESTION, JUST EASIER TO READ)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kg = 100000 cg

The mass of a proton in cg can be found as follows:

mass of proton in cg = (mass of proton in kg) x (conversion factor)

mass of proton in cg = (1.67 × 10^-27 kg) x (100000 cg/kg)

mass of proton in cg = 1.67 × 10^-23 cg

Therefore, the mass of a proton in cg is 1.67 × 10^-23 cg (to three significant figures).
