Answer:

1 mile = 1,609 meters

3.02E6 mi^2 x (1609^2m^2/mi^2) = 7.818E12 m^2

1 in= 2.54 cm => 2 in = 5.08cm = .0508m

7.818E12 m^2 x .0508m = 3.97E11 m^3

1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters

3.97E11 m^3 x (1,000,000 cm^3 / m^3) = 3.97E17 cm^3

1000 cm^3 = 1L

3.97E17 cm^3 x (1L / 1000cm^3) = 3.97E14 L  

or 3.97 x 10^14 L

convert to grams since 1L is 1000g

(3.97x10^14) x1000g which is 3.974x10^ 17g which is the final ans

Answer: Molar concentration of the tree sap have to be 0.783 M

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

\pi=iCRT

where,

\pi = osmotic pressure of the solution = 19.6 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the solution = 32^oC=[273+32]=305K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

19.6atm=1\times C\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 305K

C=0.783M

Thus the molar concentration of the tree sap have to be 0.783 M to achieve this pressure on a day when the temperature is 32°C

Consider the following elementary reaction:
Fudgin [204]

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

N2O(g) ⇄ N2(g) +  O(g)

k₁ = Forward reaction

k₋₁ = Reverse Reaction

Equilibrium concentration (K) = k₁ / k₋₁

K = \frac{[N2O] }{[N2] [ O]}

Are Molar Mass and Molecular Mass the same thing? If they are different, then why are they used interchangeably?
exis [7]

At this point there are two answers:  one says that there is no difference, except for the units;  the molecular weight (MW) is the mass of one molecule, while a molar mass is the mass of a mole (6.02 x 10 ^ 23) of molecules.

While in certain contexts both statements can be shown to be true, I'm not sure these answers really provide you with the insight you're looking for.

So, we'll look at your question from a different perspective.   Take a real example, something simple like water.  Water has a nominal MW of 18 (so we'll use nominal precision for simplicity, instead of the 4-places often used for these types of calculations).

The MW of water (formula = H2O) is the weight of one atom of oxygen, which = 16 amu [8-neutrons at 1 amu each plus 8 protons at 1 amu each = 16 amu), plus two atoms of hydrogen, at 1 proton (1 amu) each.  Normal everyday hydrogen has no neutrons.  So for H2O, we have a total molecular weight of 18 amu.

From the CRC reference book we find that one amu weighs 1.66 x 10 ^--24 grams.  Multiplying the two and in keeping with the two units of precision we're working with, one molecule of water has a mass of  29.8 x 10^-24g, or [3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g] per molecule of water.

A Mole is simply Avagadro's number (6.02 x 10 ^ 23) of anything... protons, baseballs, whatever.  The term Molar Mass in chemistry refers to the mass of a mole of molecules.  So in this case a molar mass of water molecules is Avagadro's number of them, the mass therefore being [6.02 x 10 ^ 23] x 3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g/ molecule] =  18.0 g

Summarizing:

Molecular Weight is the weight given in amu of an atom or molecule.  For H2O, the MW is 18 amu or 3.0 x 10 ^ -23 g.

Molar Weight is the weight, usually in grams of 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 measurements which happens to be equal to the MW of the molecule (or atomic wt. of the atom) , and for water is 18.0 g.

So, while MW and molar weight are related, their absolute values are magnitudes apart.

The difference between cow stomach and human stomach​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The primary distinction between the digestive systems of cows and humans is that the former uses a foregut fermenter while the latter uses a straightforward monogastric digestion. The types of teeth, mouths, stomachs, guts, and digestive enzymes released by the gut also vary between the two digestive systems. Cows and humans have different digestive systems because they have evolved two different sorts of dietary patterns based on their capacities. The primary distinctions between the digestive systems of cows and humans are in the types of teeth, mouths, stomachs, and intestines, as well as the enzymes released.
