Answer: This rod-shape prokaryotic cell has 3.740,734725‬ molecules

Explanation:

<u>Step 1 :</u> given data

Molarity of the prokaryotic cell = 0.0035 M

Length of the cell = 4.2 μm = 4.2 * 10^-6 m

diameter of the cell = 1.3 μm = 1.3 * 10^-6 m

<u>Step 2: </u>calculate volume

To calculate volume of a rod, weneef to know the radius.

V = r ² × l

The radius = half of the diameter : r = d/2 ⇒ (1.3 * 10^-6 m)/2 = 0.65 * 10^-6 m

V= (0.65 * 10^-6 m)² * 4.2 * 10^-6 m = 1.7745 * 10 ^-18 L

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculating number of moles

Number of moles = Concentration * Volume

moles = 0.0035 M * 1.7745 * 10 ^-18 L = 6.21075 * 10^-21 moles‬

<u>Step 4:</u> calculating number of molecules

1 mole contains 6.023 * 10 ^-23 molecules

6.21075 * 10^-21 moles contain : 6.21075 * 10^-21 * 6.023 * 10 ^-23 molecules = 3.740,734725‬ molecules

This rod-shape prokaryotic cell has 3.740,734725‬ molecules

Mercury has a mass density of 13.54 g/ml . how many milliliters would 100. grams occupy
frosja888 [35]
<span>7.39 ml For this problem, simply divide the mass of mercury you have by it's density. 100 g / 13.54 g/ml = 7.3855 ml Since we only have 3 significant digits in 100., you need to round the result to 3 significant digits. So 7.3855 ml = 7.39 ml</span>

When adding or subtracting deelmals, how many digits should the answer contain?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Depends, but in most cases, 2.

It's best to use as many digits as possible to keep it accurate.

Explanation:

This varies between teachers, as most schools go with 2 decimal places.

This is something that depends in your situation.

You technically want as many decimals as possible to keep it as accurate, but most people stick with 2.

I personally do 3, and commonly do 5 sometimes.

Formula semidesarrollada de los hidrocarburos aromáticos de 1 a 10 átomos de carbono
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

El principal componente del gas natural es también el hidrocarburo más simple: el metano. Este compuesto está formado por un átomo de carbono y cuatro átomos de hidrógeno y se representa de dos formas:

El hidrocarburo que le sigue en simplicidad es aquel que está constituido por dos átomos de carbono. Su fórmula condensada es C2H6 y se le conoce como etano.

Si se continúan colocando átomos de carbono con enlaces sencillos entre ellos e hidrógenos en los enlaces libres, se crean largas cadenas de compuestos. Al etano le sigue el propano (C2H8) y a éste, el butano (C4H10). Todos estos compuestos forman parte de la familia de los alcanos, y sus nombres terminan con el sufijo –ano para indicar que pertenecen a la misma familia.

What does h20 mean on the periodic elements chart
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The compound, H₂O, will not be found on the periodic table. This is because the periodic table only consists of individual elements. That being said, the elements found within H₂O are located on the periodic table. H₂O consists of hydrogen, denoted by the symbol "H", and oxygen, denoted by the symbol "O". The subscript (the 2) tells us that there are 2 hydrogen atoms located in the H₂O molecule.

Hydrogen is the first element listed on the periodic table and can be found in the top leftmost position. Oxygen is the eighth element on the periodic able and is located in the second row at the top right.

Which equation represents a neutralization reaction?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

H2SO4(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) -> MgSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

A neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction in which the acid, (aqeous H2SO4) reacts completely with an appropriate amount of base, (aqueous Mg(OH)2) to produce salt, (aqueous MgSO4) and water, (liquid 2H2O) only.

H2SO4(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) -> MgSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Acid + base → Salt + Water.

During this reaction, the hydrogen ion, H+, from the H2SO4 is neutralized by the hydroxide ion, OH-, from the Mg(OH)2 to form the water molecule, H2O.

Thus, the formation of salt, MgSO4(aq) and water, 2H2O(l) makes it a neutralization reaction.
