How many bacteria can fit into an animal cell

1 answer:

5 0

The size of most eukaryotic animal cells range from 1 - 30 micrometers while the size of, let's say coccus bacteria is between 0.5 - 1.0 micrometers. So, if the largest animal cell is filled with the largest coccus bacteria, we can say that 30 bacteria can fit inside.

rank the four gases (air, exhaled air, gas produced from the decomposition of H2O2, gas from decomposition of NaHCO3, in order o

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: H₂O₂ (94%) > Air (23%) > Exhaled air (13%) > NaHCO₃ (0%)

Initial important note:

Although NaHCO₃ contents oxygen atoms, and you can calculate its compositoin, the resulting gas does not containg pure oxygen gas (O₂). For the comparisson it is not useful to calculate the content of oxygent atoms, but the concentration of O₂ gas. As such, the gas from NaHCO₃ contains 0% of pure O₂, that is why it is ranked last.

1) Air:

Source: internet

Approximate 23%. It is variable, because air is not a pure substance but a mixture of gases, whose compositon is not unique.

2) Exhaled air:

Source: internet.

Approximate 13%. The compositon of the air changes in our lungs, due to the respiration process: we inhale fresh air with around 23% of oxygen, part of this oxygen pass to the cells (lungs - blood - heart - cells) and then it is exhaled with a lower content of air and a greater content of CO₂

3) Air from the decomposition of H₂O₂.

In this case we can do a chemical calculation, since we can state the chemical equation of the reaction:

i) Chemical Equation:

H₂O₂ (g) → H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)

ii) mole ratio of the products 1 mol H₂ : 1 mol O₂

iii) convert moles into mass (grams)

1 mol H₂ × 2 × 1.008 g/mol = 2.016 g

1 mol O₂ × 2 × 15.999 g/mol = 31.998 g

Composition, % = [31.998 g / (2.016 g + 31.998 g) ] × 100 ≈ 94%

4) Air from the decomposition of NaHCO₃:

i) chemical equation:

2 NaHCO₃(s) → Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

ii) mole ratio: take into account only the gases in the products:

1 mol CO₂ (g) : 1 mol H₂O

iii) mass in grams

CO₂: molar mass ia approximately 44.01 g/mol

H₂O: molar mass is approximately 18.02 g/mol

iii) Those gases although have oxygen atoms, do not hae free oxygen gas, which is what we are compariing. That means, that from the decomposition of NaHCO₃ you get 0% oxygen gas.

5) The result is:

H₂O₂ (94%) > Air (23%) > Exhaled air (13%) > NaHCO₃ (0%)

Determine the limiting reactant (lr) and the mass (in g) of nitrogen that can be formed from 50.0 g n2o4 and 45.0 g n2h4. some p

Licemer1 [7]

N2O4(l) + 2 N2H4(l) → 3 N2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
1) to calculate the limiting reactant you need to pass grams to moles.
 moles is calculated by dividing mass by molar mass

mass of N2O4: 50.0 g
molar mass of N2O4 = 92.02 g/mol
molar mass of N2H4 = 32.05 g/mol.
mass of N2H4:45.0 g

moles N2O4=50.0/92.02 g/mol= 0,54 mol of N2O4
moles N2H4= 45/32.05 g/mol= 1,40 mol of N2H4

 2)
By looking at the balanced equation, you can see that 1 mol of N2O4 needs 2 moles of N2H4 to fully react . So to react 0,54 moles of N2O4, you need 2x0,54 moles of N2H4 moles
N2H4 needed = 1,08 moles.
You have more that 1,08 moles N2H4, so this means the limiting reagent is not N2H4, it's N2O4. The molecule that has molecules that are left is never the limiting reactant.

3) 1 mol of N2O4 reacting, will produce 3 mol of N2 (look at the equation)
There are 0,54 mol of N2O4 available to react, so how many moles will produce of N2?
1 mol N2O4------------3 mol of N2
0,54 mol N2O4--------x
x=1,62 mol of N2

4) the only thing left to do is convert the moles obtained, to grams.
We use the same formula as before, moles equal to mass divided by molar mass.
$moles= \frac{grams}{molar mass}$ (molar mass of N2= 28)
1,62 mol of N2= mass/ 28
mass of N2= 45,36 grams
