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.

How does water’s ability to form hydrogen bonds explain why ice is less dense than liquid water?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

As water freezes, a crystalline structure preserved by hydrogen bonding is formed by water molecules. Less dense than liquid water is solid water, or ice. Ice is less dense than water since molecules are pulled farther apart by the direction of hydrogen bonds, which decreases density.

Carbon has a neutral overall charge, an atomic mass of about 12 and an atomic number of 6. How many electrons does carbon have?
Artist 52 [7]
For the atom to be neutral, it must have the same number of electrons and protons. The aromic number indicates the number of protons. Since Carbon has 6 protons, it would have to have 6 electrons for it to be neutral

What is true about elements that are in the same column group or family
shusha [124]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Which is true of Elements on a periodic table in the same group (family)?

A; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electron shells.

B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

C; Elements in the same family have few similar properties as they have different numbers of electron shells.

D; Elements in the same family are always the same type of Elements and have the same number of protons.

Answer: B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons. The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

Example: Flourine, chlorine and bromine are elements which belong to Group 17. They have 9, 17 and 35 electrons respectively and contain 7 valence electrons each and need one electron to complete their octet.
