Molarity is expressed as:
Molarity = moles / liter

Given that the cell is rod-shaped, its volume is calculated using the formula for a cylinder's volume:

V = πr²L
V = π * (0.6)² * 4.9
V = 5.54 μm³

1 Liter = 10³ mm³
1 mm = 10³ μm
1 mm³ = 10⁹ μm³
1 liter = 10¹² μm³

So the volume in liters is:
5.54 x 10⁻¹² L

Moles = molarity * liters
Moles = 0.0029 * 5.54 x 10⁻¹²
Moles = 1.61 x 10⁻¹⁴

To get the number of molecules, we multiply the moles by Avagadro's number

Number of molecules = 1.61 x 10⁻¹⁴ * 6.02 x 10²³

There are 9.69 x 10⁹ molecules in the cell

The atoms of a certain material can absorb red and blue light frequencies. What happens to yellow light that shines on it?

It is reflected ir transmitted depending on what the material is. The color that something appears is actually the color that it reflects or transmits and not the color that it absorbs. I hope this helps.

Saline solutions (nacl in water) used to deliver intravenous drugs are 0.89%(w/v). what mass of nacl is found in 200 ml of such
Gnom [1K]

A ratio of 0.89% w / v or 0.0089 in fraction means that there is 0.89 weight of NaCl pero volume of solution. Therefore the mass of NaCl is:

mass NaCl = 0.0089 * 200

<span>mass NaCl = 1.78 grams</span>
