Question

The density of nuclear matter is about 1018 kg/m3. Given that 1 mL is equal in volume to cm3, what is the density of nuclear matter in megagrams per microliter (that is, Mg/μL)?

a) 1 × 1012 Mg/μL
b) 1 × 106 Mg/μL
c) 1 × 1010 Mg/μL
d) 1 × 105 Mg/μL

Answer 1

The density of nuclear matter is 10¹¸ kg/m³. After converting this to megagrams per microliter (Mg/μl), we find that the density is 1 × 10¶ Mg/μl.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the conversion of the density of nuclear matter from kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³) to megagrams per microliter (Mg/μl). Given that the density of nuclear matter is approximately 10¹¸ kg/m³, and knowing that 1 mL is equal to 1 cm³ and that 1 megagram (Mg) is equal to 1,000,000 kilograms (kg), we can perform the following conversions:

• 
  
• 
  

After performing these conversions, we find that the density of nuclear matter in Mg/μl is 1 × 10¶ Mg/μl.
