The question is incomplete, the complete question is :

Calculate the approximate number of atoms in a bacterium. Assume the average mass of an atom in the bacterium is 10 times the mass of a hydrogen atom.(Hint the mass of hydrogen atom is on order of 10^{-27} kg and the mass of bacterium is on order of 10^{-15} kg

Answer:

The total numbers of atom in bacterium are 10^{12}.

Explanation:

Mass of hydrogen atom, m= 10^{-27} kg

Mass of bacterium , M= 10^{-15} kg

Mass of bacterium atom =m'

Given ; m' =10\times m

m'=10\times 10^{-27} kg=10^{-26} kg

let the number of atoms in bacterium be N

m'\times N=M

N=\frac{M}{m'}=\frac{10^{-15} kg}{10^{-27} kg}=10^{12}

The total numbers of atom in bacterium are 10^{12}.

Which of the following is an example of a safe laboratory procedure?
ollegr [7]
<span>A is the correct answer. Tying back long hair and loose clothing is important so they don’t dangle in flames or liquids that could dissolve or bleach them, for example. The other choices - consuming food and drink from lab wares, touching hot objects without gloves on and inhaling odors - are examples of very unsafe procedures. </span>

A chemistry student needs 65.0 mL of carbon tetrachloride for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Phy
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

103.3 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

Volume of carbon tetrachloride (v) = 65.0 mL

Density of carbon tetrachloride (d) = 1.59 g/cm³

Solution:

Convert volume of carbon tetrachloride from ml to cm³

1 ml = 1 cm³

so,

65.0 mL = 65.0 cm³

Formula used to calculated mass of carbon tetrachloride should be taken for experiment.

                   d = m/v

Rearrange the above equation:

                   m = d x v . . . . . . .(1)

Put values in equation 1

                   m = 1.59 g/cm³ x 65.0 cm³

                   m = 103.3 g
