Examining the figure, how many orders of magnitude larger is a person than a bacterial cell?

1 answer:

8 0

Well you did not show the figure, but I can show you how to do it.

Suppose the person is 6 feet tall and the bacteria cell is 1 micrometer in length.

So, put both magnitudes in the same units. I will use meter.

Person: 6 feet * 0.3048 m / foot = 1.8288 m, which in orders of magnitud is about 2 m

Bacteria cell: 1 micrometer * 1 m / 1,000,000 micrometer = 1 * 10 ^ -6 m.

Now divide: 2m / 10^ -6 m = 2,000,000

So a person is about 2 million times larger than a bacteria cell.

If the numbers in your figure are different you can use the same method to get a new result according to your figure.

Under what conditions of temperature and pressure is a gas least soluble in water

snow_tiger [21]

The conditions of temperature and pressure in which a gas least soluble in water is low pressure and high temperature.

<h3>What is Henry Law?</h3>

The amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid, according to Henry's law.

From this law it is clear that:

As the pressure of the gas increases solubility of the gas on the liquid also increases.

But if the temperature of the liquid decreases then the solubility of the gas also increases.

Hence at low pressure and high temperature, gas is least soluble.

For each of the following compounds, state whether it is ionic or covalent, and if it is ionic, write the symbols for the ions i

kupik [55]

Answer :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

For the given options:

Option A: $KClO_4$

This compound is formed by the combination of potassium, $K^+$ which is a metal and $ClO_4^-$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option B: $Mg(C_2H_3O_2)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of magnesium, $Mg^{2+}$ which is a metal and $C_2H_3O_2^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option C: $H_2S$

Hydrogen and sulfur, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option D: $Ag_2S$

This compound is formed by the combination of silver, $Ag^{+}$ which is a metal and sulfur, $S^{2-}$ which is a non-metal. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option E: $N_2Cl_4$

Nitrogen and chlorine, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option F: $Co(NO_3)_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of cobalt, $Co^{2+}$ which is a metal and $NO_3^{-}$ ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

When water vapor condenses, how much heat energy will be released into the atmosphere?

Leona [35]

When water vapor condenses, 2260 joules/gram heat energy will be released into the atmosphere.

To add, heat energy (or thermal energy or simply heat) is defined as a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance (or system) by means of kinetic energy of those particles. In other words, under kinetic theory, the heat is transferred by particles bouncing into each other.

As one mass increases, what happens to the gravitational force.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Gravitational force is directly promotional to the mass

of both interacting objects.

Explanation:

More massive objects will attract each other with

a greater gravitional force. So as the mass of the

either objects increases the force of gravitational

attraction between them also increases.
