2mm=2,000,000 nm
2,000,000/25=80,000
The answer is 80,000 polio viruses

Answer:

80,000

Explanation:

First, the diameters of both must be in the same unit. Converting the pinhead diameter from millimeter to nanometer, we get:

$2mm = 2*10^6$ nm

To get the number of polio viruses that fit at the head of the pin, divide the pin size by the amount of virus in nanometers:

$2*10^6 = 2,000,000$

$2,000,000 / 25 = 80,000$

This concludes that 80,000 polio viruses fit the pinhead.

Which laws can be combined to form the ideal gas law?

ahrayia [7]

Answer: Charles's law, Avogadro's law andd Boyle's law.

Charles law states the constant ratio of volume to temperature, at constant pressure. Boyle's law states the constat product of pressure and volumen at constant temperature. Avogadro's law states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure have equal number of particles.

So, all those three laws combined state the relation of pressure, volume, temperature and number of particles of a gas, which is what the ideal gas law does: PV = n RT.

The most likely van't Hoff factor for an 0.01 m calcium iodide solution is

monitta

This problem is providing us with the molality of a solution of calcium iodide as 0.01 m. So the most likely van't Hoff factor is required and theoretically found to be 3 due to the following:

<h3>Van't Hoff factor:</h3>

In chemistry, the correct characterization of solutions also imply the identification of the ions it will release in aqueous solution. For that reason, the van't Hoff factor gives us an idea of this number, according to the formula the solute has got.

In such a way, for calcium iodide, we write its ionization equation as shown below:

$CaI_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2I^-$

Assuming it is able to ionize due to the low molality, because if it was higher, then it won't ionize. Hence, since we have three moles of ion products, one Ca²⁺ and two I⁻, we can conclude the van't Hoff factor would be 3, although calculations may lead to a different, yet close result.
