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

3. Gasoline, coal, batteries, and logs all have chemical energy. When they burn that chemical energy will be transformed into en
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Thermal energy

Explanation:

When gasoline, coal, batteries and logs are all burn they transform chemical energy to thermal energy.

The chemical energy is the energy held between chemical chains and bonds within an atom.

  • When they combust, they release thermal energy
  • Chemical energy is a potential energy.
  • The thermal energy is a kinetic energy
  • It increase the average motion of the particles in the medium
  • The breaking bond when produces heat which is a form of thermal energy.
