The temperature of the Sun’s atmosphere near the surface is about 6000 K, and the concentration of atoms is about 1015 particles/m3. What are the average pressure and density of its atmosphere? What assumptions did you make to solve the problem?

Answer:

average pressure = 8.314 ×
10^(-5) pascal

density = 1.66 ×
10^(-12) kg/m³

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

temperature of sun = 6000 K

concentration of atoms =
10^(15) particles/m³

to find out

average pressure and density of its atmosphere

solution

first we get here average pressure of atmosphere that is express as

average pressure =
(nRT)/(V) .............1

put here value we get

average pressure =
(10^15*8.314*6000)/(6*10^(23))

average pressure = 8.314 ×
10^(-5) pascal

and

density of atmosphere will be

density =
(nM)/(V) .............2

density =
(10^(15)*1.66*10^(-27))/(1)

density = 1.66 ×
10^(-12) kg/m³
