The average time it takes for a molecule to diffuse a distance of x cm is given by t=x^2/2D where t is the time in seconds and D

is the diffusion coefficient. Given that the diffusion coefficient of glucose is 5.7 x 10^-7 cm2/s, calculate the time it would take for a glucose molecule to diffuse 10 pm, which is roughly the size of a cell.

Answer:

Explanation:

time to diffuse x cm is given by the relation

t = X² /2D

D = 5.7 x 10⁻⁷

t = X² / 2 x 5.7 x 10⁻⁷ = X² x 10⁷ / 11.4 s

X = 10 pm = 10 x 10⁻¹² m = 10 x 10⁻¹⁰ cm = 10⁻⁹ cm

t =( 10 ⁻⁹)² x 10⁷ / 11.4 = 10⁻¹¹ / 11.4 = 8.77 x 10⁻¹³ s

Be sure to answer all parts. Nitric oxide, NO·, is a radical thought to cause ozone destruction by a mechanism similar to that o
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See image attached and explanation

Explanation:

The stratospheric ozone layer is very important in absorbing high-energy ultraviolet radiation that is harmful to living systems on earth. The concentration of ozone in the stratosphere is determined by both thermal and photochemical pathways for its decomposition. Nitric oxide, NO, is a trace constituent in the stratosphere that reacts with ozone to form nitrogen dioxide, NO2, and the diatomic oxygen molecule. The nitrogen-oxygen bond in NO2 is relatively weak. When an NO2 molecule encounters an oxygen atom, it transfers an oxygen, forming O2 and NO. The chemical reactions involved are formations of NO2 following by reaction of NO2 with atomic oxygen for form NO and O2. The sum of both reactions show that the overall reaction is simply the reaction of ozone with atomic oxygen to form two molecules of molecular oxygen. Hence, NO only serves as a catalyst, it does not undergo a permanent change itself.

How many grams Glycylglycine (molecular mass 132.119 grams/mole) are required to make 1 liter at 0.5 Molar concentration. If you
SOVA2 [1]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        Concentration of solution = 0.5 M

        Volume of solution = 1 L

Molar mass of Glycylglycine = 132.119 g/mol

As molarity is the number of moles present in liter of solvent.

Mathematically,      Molarity = \frac{\text{No. of moles}}{\text{Volume}}

Hence, calculate the number of moles as follows.

            No. of moles = Molarity × Volume

                                  = 0.5 M \times 1 L

                                  = 0.5 mol

Therefore, mass of glycylglycine = mol × molar mass

                                                      = 0.5 mol \times 132.119 g/mol

                                                      = 66.06 g

Thus, we can conclude that 66.06 g glycylglycine is required.

Explain what is meant by the phrase 'the heat death of the universe."
Vikki [24]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Are you literally posting your entire you chemistry homework on this site, one question at a time? Anyways, the heat death refers to the second law of thermodynamics and entropy. Heat is constantly flowing from warmer to cooler objects and never the other way around. This heat flow increases entropy, which is constantly increasing. The universe will eventually disperse all of its heat energy away to continuously increase entropy and reach a limit as the temperature reaches 0 K at which point all molecular motion will cease and so will the life of the universe.

The nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte DDT , C14H9Cl5 (354.5 g/mol), is soluble in benzene, C6H6. Calculate the osmotic pressure (in at
Ainat [17]

Step 1

The osmotic pressure is calculated as follows:

\begin{gathered} \pi\text{ = C x R x T} \\ C\text{ = molarity = }\frac{moles\text{ of solute}}{Volume\text{ of solution \lparen L\rparen}} \\ R\text{ = 0.082 }\frac{atmxL}{mol\text{ x K}} \end{gathered}

-------------

Step 2

<em>Information provided:</em>

The mass of solute = 13.6 g

Volume of solution = 251 mL

Absolute temperature = T = 298 K

The molar mass of solute = M = 354.5 g/mol

-------------

Step 3

Procedure:

1 L = 1000 mL => Volume = 251 mL x (1 L/1000 mL) = 0.251 L

---

C = moles of solute/volume of solution (L)

C = mass of solute/(molar mass x Volume (L))

C = 13.6 g/(354.5 g/mol x 0.251 L)

C = 0.153 mol/L

---

π = C x R x T

π = 0.153 mol/L x 0.082 atm L/mol K x 298 K

π = 3.74 atm

Answer: π = 3.74 atm
