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

Suppose 180 ml of 3.52x10^-4 M NaOH is mixed with 220 mL of 2.47x10^-4 M MgCl2.
velikii [3]
When in water, MgCl2 dissociates into magnesium ions and Cl- ions and NaOH into Na and OH ions. The equation is as follows:

MgCl2 = Mg2+ + 2Cl-
NaOH = Na+ + OH-

The initial concentrations are as follows:

[Mg2+] = .220(<span> 2.47x10^-4) / .220+.180 = 1.36x10^-4 M Mg2+
</span>[OH-] = .180 (3.52x10^-4) / .220+.180 = 1.58x10^-4 M OH-

How many bananas are equal to 7.50 moles of bananas?​
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

4.52×10^24

Explanation:

N = n × Na

where; N = no. of bananas

n = no. of moles

Na = Avogadro's constant

Which is 6.02×10^23

N = 7.5 × 6.02×10^23

N =4.515×10^24

How glass tube filed with acidified potassium dichromate detect drunken driver
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction between alcohol and acidified potassium dichromate  is a redox reaction. This reaction can be used to detect a drunken driver.

Alcohols can be oxidized to aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids depending on the structure of the alcohol. Primary alcohols yield adehydes and carboxylic acids while secondary alcohols are oxidized to ketones.

The colour of the acidified potassium dichromate turns from orange to green when exposed to alcohols from the breath of a drunken driver.

What’s the formula for Lithium acetate
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The formula for lithium acetate is CH3COOLi

Explanation:

The formula for lithium acetate is obtained by replacing the hydrogen atom bonding to the oxygen atom in acetic acid with Li as shown below:

CH3COOH + LiOH —> CH3COOLi + H2O
