Answer: -
The approximate number of atoms in a bacterium is 10¹¹
Explanation: -
We are given the mass of a bacterium is 10⁻¹⁵ kg.
We are told that the mass of a hydrogen atom is 10⁻²⁷ kg.
Finally we learn that the average mass of an atom of the bacterium is ten times the mass of a hydrogen atom.
Mass of an atom of bacterium = 10 x mass of hydrogen atom
= 10 x 10⁻²⁷ kg.
= 10⁻²⁶ kg.
Thus the number of atoms in a bacterium =
=
= 10¹¹
Answer:
N₂ = 0.7515atm
O₂ = 0.1715atm
NO = 0.0770atm
Explanation:
For the reaction:
N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2NO(g)
Where Kp is defined as:
Pressures in equilibrium are:
N₂ = 0.790atm - X
O₂ = 0.210atm - X
NO = 2X
Replacing in Kp:
0.0460 = [2X]² / [0.790atm - X] [0.210atm - X]
0.0460 = 4X² / 0.1659 - X + X²
0.0460X² - 0.0460X + 7.6314x10⁻³ = 4X²
-3.954X² - 0.0460X + 7.6314x10⁻³ = 0
Solving for X:
X = - 0.050 → False answer. There is no negative concentrations.
X = <em>0.0385 atm</em> → Right answer.
Replacing for pressures in equilibrium:
N₂ = 0.790atm - X = <em>0.7515atm</em>
O₂ = 0.210atm - X = <em>0.1715atm</em>
NO = 2X = <em>0.0770atm</em>
