The mass of one mole of viruses is 5.4 x 10^12 mg.  

The mass of an oil tanker is equal to the mass of 5.6 moles of viruses.

Further Explanation:

To solve this problem, the following conversion factors must be used:

1 \ mol \ = \ 6.022 \ x \ 10^{23} \ particles\\1 \ kg \ = 1000 \ g\\1 \ g \ = \ 1000 \ mg

The steps in solving this problem includes:

1. Calculate the mass of 1 mole of virus using Avogadro's number.

2. Converting the mass of the oil tanker from kg to mg.

3. Calculating how many moles of virus are equivalent to the mass of the tanker in mg.

STEP 1: Calculate the mass of 1 mole of viruses.

mass \ of\ 1 \ mol \ virus \ = 1 \ mol \ virus \ (\frac{6.022 \ x \ 10^{23} \ viruses}{1 \ mol})(\frac{9.0 \ x \ 10^{-12} \ mg}{1 \ virus})\\ \\mass \ of\ 1 \ mol \ virus \ = \ 5.4198 \ x \ 10^{12} \ mg

Since there are only two significant figures in the given, the answer must be written with two significant figures only. Therefore,

\boxed {mass \ of \ viruses \ = 5.4 \ x \ 10^{12} \ mg}

STEP 2: Convert the mass of the oil tanker to mg.

mass \ in \ mg \ = 3.0 \ x \ 10^{7} \ kg \ (\frac{1000 \ g}{1 \ kg} ) \ (\frac{1000 \ mg}{1 \ g})\\\\mass \ in \ mg = 3.0 \ x \ 10^{13} \ mg

STEP 3: Calculate the moles of virus which has the same mass as the tanker.

mol \ virus \ = 3.0 \ x \ 10^{3} \ mg \ (\frac{1 \ mol \ virus}{5.4 \ x \ 10^{12} \ mg} )\\\\\boxed {mol \ virus \ = 5.6 \ mol}

A. The mass of one mole of the virus is calculated by multiplying the mass of a single virus by the Avogadro's number which is equal to 6.022 x 10^23. Performing this operation,

   mass = (9.0 x 10^-12 mg)(6.022 x 10^23) = 5.42 x 10^12 mg

In correct number of significant figures, the answer would only have to be 5.4 x 10^12 mg. 

b. The number of moles of the virus that will have the same mass as the oil tanker is calculated by dividing the mass of the oil tanker by the mass of one mole of the virus. Note that doing division, both would have to have the same units. 

       n = (3.0 x 10^7 kg) / (5.4 x 10^12 mg)(1 g/1000 mg)(1 kg/1000 g)

Simplifying,
               n = 6

In correct number of significant figures, the answer is 6.0.

The unheated Gas in the above system has a volume of 20.0 L at a temperature of 25.0 C and a pressure of 1.00 atm. The gas is he
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1.25 atm.

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Initial volume (V1) = 20L

Initial temperature (T1) = 25°C

Initial pressure = 1 atm

Final temperature (T2) = 100°C

Final volume (V2) = constant i.e remain the same

Final pressure (P2) =?

Step 2:

Conversion of celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This is illustrated below:

Temperature (Kelvin) = temperature (celsius) + 273

Initial temperature (T1) = 25°C = 25°C + 273 = 298K

Final temperature (T2) = 100°C = 100°C + 273 = 373K

Step 3:

Determination of the final pressure of the gas. This is illustrated below:

Since the volume is constant, the following equation, P1/T1 = P2/T2 will be used to obtain the final pressure of gas as follow:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Initial temperature (T1) = 298k

Initial pressure = 1 atm

Final temperature (T2) = 373K

Final pressure (P2) =?

P1/T1 = P2/T2

1/298 = P2 /373

Cross multiply to express in linear form

298 x P2 = 1 x 373

Divide both side by 298

P2 = 373/298

P2 = 1.25 atm.

Therefore, the pressure of the heated gas is 1.25 atm.
