You have come down with a nasty cold and would like to understand why the virus that infected you is making you feel so lousy. W

ith a few basic facts, given here within the problem, you can show that each infected cell is now very full of virus particles, resulting in your current condition.
a. Given that a typical cell is about 10 um in diameter, calculate its volume in liters.
b. Find the concentration (in Molarity) of a single virus within that cell.
c. Find the concentration (in Molarity) of 100 virus particles within that cell.

Answer:

a) The volume is 5.236x10⁻¹³L

b) The molarity of a single virus is 1.91x10¹² mol/L

c) The molarity for a 100 virus particles is 1.91x10¹⁴ mol/L

Explanation:

a) Given:

D = diameter of the cell = 10 μm

r = radius = 10/2 = 5 μm

The volume of the spherical cell is equal:

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} =\frac{4}{3} \pi *(5)^{3} =523.6\mu m^{3}

If 1 μm³ = 1x10⁻¹⁵L, then 523.6 μm³ = 5.236x10⁻¹³L

b) The molarity is:

M=\frac{number-of-moles}{volume-of-solution}

For a single virus within the cell

M=\frac{1}{5.236x10^{-13} } =1.91x10^{12} mol/L

c) For a 100 virus particles the molarity is:

M=\frac{100}{5.236x10^{-13} } =1.91x10^{14} mol/L

A solution was prepared by mixing 50.0 g
frez [133]

Answer:

4.78 %.

Explanation:

<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>

<em></em>

<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>

<em></em>

mass of MgSO₄ = 50.0 g,

mass of water = d.V = (0.997 g/mL)(1000.0 mL) = 997.0 g.

mass of the solution = mass of water + mass of MgSO₄ = 997.0 g + 50.0 g = 1047.0 g.

<em>∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100</em> = (50.0 g/1047.0 g) x 100 = <em>4.776 % ≅ 4.78 %.</em>

A certain ionic compound X has a solubility in water of 40.3 g/L at 20. degrees C. Calculate the mass X of required to prepare 5
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

20.1 g

Explanation:

The solubility indicates how much of the solute the solvent can dissolve. A solution is saturated when the solvent dissolved the maximum that it can do, so, if more solute is added, it will precipitate. The solubility varies with the temperature. Generally, it increases when the temperature increases.

So, if the solubility is 40.3 g/L, and the volume is 500 mL = 0.5 L, the mass of the solute is:

40.3 g/L = m/V

40.3 g/L = m/0.5L

m = 40.3 g/L * 0.5L

m = 20.1 g

A 7.2 L balloon at 2 atm of pressure has its pressure reduced to 0.5 atm. What is the new size of the balloon, in liters?
alexgriva [62]

Explanation:

using Boyles law: which shows the relationship between pressure and volume, when temperature Is kept constant

P1V1 = P2V2

2 x 7.2 = 0.5 x V2

14.4 = 0.5 x V2

V2 = 14.4/0.5 = 28.8 L

Hence the new size of the balloon in litres is 28.8
