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

Allushta [10]3 years ago

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.

A 126.1-gram block of granite at 92.6°C is dropped into a tub of water at 24.7°C in an isolated system. The final temperature of
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The granite block transferred <u>4080 J</u> of energy, and the mass of the water is <u>35.8 g</u>.

1. <em>Energy from granite block </em>

The formula for the heat (<em>q</em>) transferred is

<em>q = mC</em>Δ<em>T</em>

<em>m</em> = 126.1 g; <em>C</em> = 0.795 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹; Δ<em>T</em> = <em>T</em>_f – <em>T</em>_i = 51.9 °C - 92.6 °C = -40.7 °C

∴ <em>q</em> = 126.1 g × 0.795 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × (-40.7 °C) = -4080 J

The granite block transferred 4080 J.

2. <em>Mass of water </em>

<em>q = mC</em>Δ<em>T </em>

<em>m = q</em>/(<em>C</em>Δ<em>T</em>)

<em>q </em>= 4080 J; <em>C</em> = 4.186 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹; Δ<em>T</em> = <em>T</em>_f – <em>T</em>_i = 51.9 °C – 24.7 °C = 27.2 °C

∴ <em>m</em> = 4080 J/(4.186 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × 27.2 °C) = 35.8 g

The mass of the water is 35.8 g.

Lewis dot diagram for the Cs1+ ion
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Cs^+

Explanation:

Cesium Lewis dot structure would look like this:

·Cs,  because it only has one valence electron. But, since it has a plus, that means we lost an electron. So, we have to get rid of the dot and you have:

Cs^+

State whether the following statements are true or false (with justification). (a) 1 mol of N2 has more molecules than 1 mol of
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

A. False.

Every substance contains the same number of molecules i.e 6.02x10^23 molecules

B. False.

Mass conc. = number mole x molar Mass

Mass conc. of 1mole of N2 = 1 x 28 = 28g

Mass conc. of 1mol of Ar = 1 x 40 = 40g

The mass of 1mole of Ar is greater than the mass of 1mole of N2

C. False.

Molar Mass of N2 = 2x14 = 28g/mol

Molar Mass of Ar = 40g/mol

The molar mass of Ar is greater than that of N2.
