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.

Law, since "It is supported by a great deal of evidence. A theory is almost like an educated guess but a little more complex. Someone can have a theory and try to predict the outcome, which could be how they want it to go or how they don't want it to go. With a law, the scientist is basically certain of the outcome due to the evidence that was provided when the law was created.

How much heat is required to increase the temperature of 100.0 grams of iron from 15.0oC to 40.2oC? (The specific heat of iron i
Ksenya-84 [330]
Answer is: 1160 J of heat Is required to increase the temperature.
m(Fe) = 100 g.
∆T = 40,2 - 15 = 25,2°C.
C(Fe) = 0,46 J/g•°C.
Q = m(Fe) • C • ∆T.
Q = 100 g • 0,46 J/g•°C • 25,2°C
Q = 1160 J.
C - specific heat.
