Answer

$90 \%$

Work Step by Step

To calculate volume per cubic meter, use the formula $V_{Na} = \frac{m N_A(4/3 \pi r^3)}{M_{Na}} $ Where $m = 971kg$ $N_A$ is $6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol$ $r = 98 \times 10^{-12}m$ $M_Na = 23.0g/mol$ So, $V_{Na} = \frac{(971kg)(6.022 \times 10^{23}/mol)4/3 \pi (98.0 \times 10^{-12}m)^3}{23.0g/mol} $ $V_{Na} = 0.100m^3$ Fraction available for conduction is $1-(V_{Na}/1.00 m^3)$ $ = 1- 0.100 = 0.900 $ $ = 90.0\%.$
