if there are 60000000000 helium atoms in a volume of 30000 cubic centimeters, what is the average number of helium atoms per cubic centimeter

1 answer

To find the average number of helium atoms per cubic centimeter, you can divide the total number of helium atoms by the total volume in cubic centimeters.

Given:

  • Total helium atoms = 60,000,000,000 (or 60 billion)
  • Volume = 30,000 cubic centimeters

The calculation is:

\[ \text{Average number of helium atoms per cubic centimeter} = \frac{\text{Total helium atoms}}{\text{Volume (cm}^3\text{)}} \]

\[ = \frac{60,000,000,000}{30,000} \]

Now, performing the division:

\[ = 2,000,000 \]

Therefore, the average number of helium atoms per cubic centimeter is 2,000,000.
