A medical lab is testing a new anticancer drug on cancer cells. The drug stock solution concentration is 1.5×10−9m, and 1.00 ml

of this solution will be delivered to a dish containing 2.0×105 cancer cells in 5.00 ml of aqueous fluid. What is the ratio of drug molecules to the number of cancer cells in the dish?

The concentration of the drug stock solution is 1.5*10^-9 M i.e. 1.5 * 10^-9 moles of the drug per Liter of the solution

Therefore, the number of moles present in 1 ml i.e. 1*10^-3 L of the solution would be =  1 *10^-3 L * 1.5 * 10^-9 moles/1 L = 1.5 * 10^-12 moles

1 mole of the drug will contain 6.023*10^23 drug molecules

Therefore, 1.5*10^-12 moles of the drug will correspond to :

    1.5 * 10^-12 moles * 6.023*10^23 molecules/1 mole = 9.035 * 10^11 molecules

The number of cancer cells = 2.0 * 10^5

Hence the ratio = drug molecules/cancer cells

                          = 9.035 *10^11/2.0 *10^5

                          = 4.5 * 10^6

The ratio of drug molecules to the number of cancer cells in the dish is \boxed{4.5 \times {{10}^6}}.

Further Explanation:

Concentration of various solutions can be expressed by various concentration terms. Some of such concentration terms are listed below.

  • Molarity
  • Mole fraction
  • Molality
  • Parts per million
  • Mass percent
  • Volume percent
  • Parts per billion

Molarity is defined as moles of solute present in one litre of solution. It is represented by M and its unit is mol/L. The expression for molarity of solution is as follows:

{\text{Molarity of solution}} = \dfrac{{{\text{Moles }}\left( {{\text{mol}}} \right){\text{of solute}}}}{{{\text{Volume }}\left( {\text{L}} \right){\text{ of solution}}}}                 …… (1)

Rearrange equation (1) to calculate moles of solute.

{\text{Moles of solute}} = \left( {{\text{Molarity of solution}}} \right)\left( {{\text{Volume of solution}}} \right)                         …… (2)

Substitute 1.5 \times {10^{ - 9}}{\text{ M}} for molarity of solution and 1.00 mL for volume of solution in equation (2) to calculate moles of drug.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles of drug}} &= \left( {1.5 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}{\text{ M}}} \right)\left( {1.00{\text{ mL}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{{10}^{ - 3}}{\text{ L}}}}{{1{\text{ mL}}}}} \right) \\ &= 1.5 \times {10^{ - 12}}{\text{ mol}} \\\end{aligned}  

According to Avogadro’s law, one mole of every substance has 6.022 \times {10^{23}}{\text{ units}}. These units can vary from question to question and can be atoms, molecules, or formula units. Since one mole of drug also contains   6.022 \times {10^{23}}{\text{ molecules}}, number of molecules of drug present in 1.5 \times {10^{ - 12}}{\text{ mol}} can be calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}{\text{Molecules of drug}} &= \left( {1.5 \times {{10}^{ - 12}}{\text{ mol}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{6.022 \times {{10}^{23}}{\text{ molecules}}}}{{1{\text{ mol}}}}} \right) \\ &= 9.033 \times {10^{11}}{\text{ molecules}} \\ \end{aligned}  

The ratio of drug molecules to the number of cancer cells in the dish can be evaluated as follows:

\begin{aligned}{\text{Required ratio}} &= \frac{{9.033 \times {{10}^{11}}}}{{2.0 \times {{10}^5}}} \\ &= 4.5 \times {10^6} \\ \end{aligned}

Find [H+] of a 0.056 M hydrofluoric acid solution. Ka = 1.45 x 10-7
brilliants [131]

Answer:  [H^+] of 0.056 M HF solution is 8.96\times 10^{-5}

Explanation:

HF\rightarrow H^+F^-

 cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= 0.056 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=1.45\times 10^{-7}

Putting in the values we get:

1.45\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(0.056\times \alpha)^2}{(0.056-0.056\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.0016

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=0.056\times 0.0016=8.96\times 10^{-5}  

Thus [H^+] of 0.056 M HF solution is 8.96\times 10^{-5}
