The wet bulb reads low temperature because due to low humidity of atmosphere , evaporation of water takes place from the wet bulb which makes the bulb cool and therefore it reads lower temperature . In the process of evaporation , heat equal to latent heat of vaporization is taken from the bulb and it loses temperature.

Calculate the approximate number of atoms in a bacterium, assuming the average mass of an atom is ten times the mass of a hydrog

mezya [45]

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 = $\frac{Total mass}{mass of 1 bacterium atom}$

= $\frac{10-15 kg}{10-26 kg}$

= 10¹¹

What does lead ii acetate and hydrogen sulfide produce? and what type of reaction is it?

kati45 [8]

When Lead (II) acetate and Hydrogen sulfide react, they form Lead sulfide and Acetic acid. The reaction is a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction.
The balanced chemical reaction is this:
Pb(C2H3O2)2 + H2S --> PbS + 2C2H4O2
And the net ionic reaction is this:
Pb2+ + S2- --> PbS
