Answer:

7800 cells

Explanation:

The number of Escherichia coli cells N after n generations is given by

N = 2ⁿ × N₀ where N₀ = initial population

Now making N₀ subject of the formula, we have

N₀ = N/2ⁿ

Since n = 8 and N = 1,996,800 cells, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

N₀ = N/2ⁿ

N₀ = 1,996,800 cells/2⁸

N₀ = 1,996,800 cells/256

N₀ = 7800 cells

So, the initial population of Escherichia coli cells is 7800 cells.

Which buffer would be better able to hold a steady pH on the addition of strong acid, buffer 1 or buffer 2? Explain. Buffer 1: a
Talja [164]

Answer:

Buffer 1.

Explanation:

Ammonia is a weak base. It acts like a Bronsted-Lowry Base when it reacts with hydrogen ions.

\rm NH_3\; (aq) + H^{+}\; (aq) \to {NH_4}^{+}\; (aq).

\rm NH_3 gains one hydrogen ion to produce the ammonium ion \rm {NH_4}^{+}. In other words, \rm {NH_4}^{+} is the conjugate acid of the weak base \rm NH_3.

Both buffer 1 and 2 include

  • the weak base ammonia \rm NH_3, and
  • the conjugate acid of the weak base \rm {NH_4}^{+}.

The ammonia \rm NH_3 in the solution will react with hydrogen ions as they are added to the solution:

\rm NH_3\; (aq) + H^{+}\; (aq) \to {NH_4}^{+}\; (aq).

There are more \rm NH_3 in the buffer 1 than in buffer 2. It will take more strong acid to react with the majority of \rm NH_3 in the solution. Conversely, the pH of buffer 1 will be more steady than that in buffer 2 when the same amount of acid has been added.

What mass of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, will completely react with 2.00 moles of silver nitrate, AgNO3?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

34g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

H2S + 2AgNO3 —> 2HNO3 + Ag2S

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H2S required to react with 2 moles of AgNO3.

This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

We can see that 1 mole of H2S is required to react completely with 2 moles of AgNO3.

Finally, we shall convert 1 mole of H2S to grams. This is shown below:

Number of mole H2S = 1 mole

Molar mass of H2S = (2x1) + 32 = 34g/mol

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of H2S = 1 x 34

Mass of H2S = 34g

Therefore, 34g of H2S is needed to react with 2 moles of AgNO3.

The compound 1-butene is modeled here. What would need to happen for molecules of this compound to transform into polybutene? A.
kompoz [17]
In order to form polymers, we need to chain molecules together. This involves making bonds between them.

Shifting H’s around doesn’t accomplish anything.

Forming more double bonds will have the opposite result, as it would make the molecules more stable and less likely to react with each other.

Adding oxygen to the molecule no longer makes it polybutene. That would likely result in the formation of some sort of ether, as hey would react to form a C-O-C Bond.

The only answer left is A. In order to form polyalkenes, we have to break a double bond so that it’s available to form more covalent bonds.

Hope this helps
