Solution

To convert the mass from kilograms to atomic mass units (u), you need to know that 1 atomic mass unit is approximately equal to 1.66053906660 × 10^-27 kilograms.

Here are the steps to convert:

  1. Write down the given mass in kilograms: 3.77 × 10^-25 kg
  2. Write down the conversion factor: 1 u = 1.66053906660 × 10^-27 kg
  3. Divide the given mass by the value of 1 u in kilograms: (3.77 × 10^-25 kg) / (1.66053906660 × 10^-27 kg/u)

Doing the calculation, you get approximately 2.27 × 10^2 u, or 227 u. So, the mass of the nuclei in atomic mass units is 227 u.
