1) The mass of 1 mole of virus is $5.4\cdot 10^6 kg$

2) There are 5.6 moles of viruses in an oil tanker

Explanation:

One mole of a substance is the amount of that substance containing a number of particles equal to the Avogadro number:

$N_A = 6.022\cdot 10^{23}$

This means that 1 mole of this virus should contain a number of virus particles equal to $N_A$ .

We know that the mass of 1 virus particle is

$m=9.0\cdot 10^{-12} mg = 9.0\cdot 10^{-18} kg$

Therefore, the mass of 1 moles of viruses is equal to the mass of a single virus particle multiplied by the number of virus particles in one mole, $N_A$ :

$M=mN_A = (9.0\cdot 10^{-18})(6.022\cdot 10^{-23})=5.4\cdot 10^6 kg$

In this problem, we have that the mass of the oil tanker is

$M_o = 3.0\cdot 10^7 kg$

We also know that the mass of one mole of virus is

$M=5.4\cdot 10^6 kg$

Therefore, we can find how many moles of viruses have a mass equal to the mass of the oil tanker by dividing the mass of the oil tanker by the mass of 1 mole of virus particles.

Mathematically, this is done by the following operation:

$N=\frac{M_O}{M}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^7 kg}{5.4\cdot 10^6 kg}=5.6$

What things typically are counted in multiples or fractions of moles

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Individually well, defined identical chemically units such as molecules, ions, atoms, or electrons

Explanation:

The mole is used as the unit of measurement for substance such as molecules, ions, atoms, or electrons. One mole of a substance is equivalent to 6.02×10²³ particles of the substance. The number, 6.02 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro's number.

The particles quantified as moles are individually well, defined identical chemically units such that the mole can be used to describe a part of a substance or the whole substance consisting of several moles of the substance combined.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Dear user,

Answer to your query is provided below

When small amount of acid was added to buffered solution, pH will change very less.

Explanation:

Buffer solution resists change in ph on adding small amount of acid or base but when we calculate the value of buffer capacity we take the change in ph when we add acid or base to 1 lit solution of buffer.This contradicts the definition of buffer solution.

Consider the nuclear equation below. Superscript 235 subscript 92 upper U right arrow superscript 4 subscript 2 upper H e. What

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

$\rm_{90}^{231}\text{Th}$

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} + X$

Let's write X as a nuclear symbol.

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} + _{Z}^{A}\text{X}$

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and of the subscripts must be the same on each side of the reaction arrow.

Then

235 = 4 + A , so A = 235 - 4 = 231, and

92 = 2 + Z , so Z = 92 - 2 = 90

And your nuclear equation becomes

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} +\, _{90}^{231}\text{X}$

Element 90 is thorium, so

$\rm X = _{90}^{231}\text{Th}$
