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.

Two students are working together to build two models. Both models will represent the molecular structure of sodium bicarbonate,
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Altogether for both models; two red jellybeans, two white jellybeans, two black jellybeans and six blue jellybeans.

<em>Note: Since no specific color was stated for oxygen atoms, the answer assigns blue colored jellybeans to represent oxygen atoms.J</em>

Explanation:

Sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃ is a compound composed of one atom of sodium, one atom of hydrogen, one atom of carbon and three atoms of oxygen.

Since red jellybeans represent sodium atoms, white jellybeans represent hydrogen atoms, black jellybeans represent carbon atoms and blue jellybeans represent oxygen atoms, each of the two students will require the following number of each jellybean for their model of sodium carbonate: One red jellybean, one white jellybean, one black jellybean and three blue jellybeans.

Altogether for both models; two red jellybeans, two white jellybeans, two black jellybeans and six blue jellybeans.
