Why do cells have a limit to how big or small they can be?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Pepsi [2]4 years ago
4 0
Cells are so little, so they can maximize their ratio of surface area to volume. Smaller cells have a higher ratio which allow more molecules and ions move across the cell membrane per unit of cytoplasmic volume. Cells are so small because they need to be able to get the nutrients in and the waste out quickly.

Nina [5.8K]

Balanced chemical reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃.

1) Answer is: oxygen is limiting reactant.

n(S) = 3 mol; amount of sulfur.

n(O₂) = 4 mol; amount of oxygen.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(S) : n(O₂) = 2 : 3.

3 mol : n(O₂) = 2 : 3.

n(O₂) = (3 · 3 mol) ÷ 2.

n(O₂) = 4.5 mol; limiting reactant, because there is only 4 mol of oxygen.

2) Answer is: sulfur(S) is limiting reactant.

n(S) = 3 mol.

n(O₂) = 5 mol.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(S) : n(O₂) = 2 : 3.

n(S) : 5 mol = 2 : 3.

n(S) = 10 mol ÷ 3.

n(S) = 3.33 mol; there is only 3 mol of sulfur, so it is not enough.

3) Answer is: oxygen (O₂) is limiting reactant.

n(S) = 3 mol.

n(O₂) = 3 mol.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(S) : n(O₂) = 2 : 3.

3 mol : n(O₂) = 2 : 3.

n(O₂) = (3 · 3 mol) ÷ 2.

n(O₂) = 4.5 mol; limiting reactant, because there is only 3 mol of oxygen.
