Explanation:

Relation between pressure of water and its droplet is as follows.

           ln (\frac{p}{p_{o}}) = \frac{2 \gamma M}{r \rho RT}

where,   p = pressure of droplet

          p_{o} = water pressure in given temperature

          \gamma = 7.99 \times 10^{-3}

           M = Molecular Weight in Kg/Mol (0.018 for water)

            r = radius in meters

     \rho = density of water in Kg/m^{3} (1000 kg/m^{3})

           R = ideal gas constant (8.31)

           T = temperature in Kelvin

(a)   We will calculate the value of p as follows.

           p = e^{\frac{2 \gamma M}{r \rho RT}} \times p_{o}

              = e^{\frac{2 \times 0.07199 \times 0.018}{1.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 1000 \times 8.31 \times 298 K} \times 25.2

              = 26.8 torr

(b)  And, vapor pressure of spherical water droplets of radius 2.0 \mu m or 2 \times 10^{-6} m

             p = e^{\frac{2 \gamma M}{r \rho RT}} \times p_{o}

              = e^{\frac{2 \times 0.07199 \times 0.018}{2 \times 10^{-6} \times 1000 \times 8.31 \times 298 K} \times 25.2

              = 25.2 torr

How do scientists measure the idea of time so long ago?
professor190 [17]

The Ancient Egyptians used simple sundials and divided days into smaller parts, and it has been suggested that as early as 1,500BC, they divided the interval between sunrise and sunset into 12 parts. ... Known as a clepsydra, it uses a flow of water to measure time.

A sample of glucose contains 1.250x10^21 carbon atoms, how many atoms of hydrogen does it contain?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Hydrogen = 2.5 * 10^21

Explanation:

Chemical Formula Glucose: C₆H₁₂O₆

One of the ways you could do  this is to notice that for every carbon atom there are two Hydrogen atoms. You can state this more formally by using the formula to set up a ratio: 12/6 = hydrogen to Carbon

So if there are 1.250 * 10^21 Carbon atoms in the Glucose sample, then there will be twice as many hydrogen atoms.

H = 2 * 1.25 * 10^21 = 2.5 * 10^21 atoms

You could do this more formally by setting up a proportion.

6 Carbon / 12 Hydrogen = 1.25*10^21 /  x         Cross Multiply

6*x = 12 * 1.25*10^21                                           Combine the right

6x = 1.5 * 10^22                                                  Divide by 6

x = 2.5 * 10^21
