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.

Determine the equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction, by using the two reference equations below: 2 NO(g) + O2(g)
klio [65]

Answer:

Kp=3.07x10^6

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing the given reference reactions, one could rearrange them as follows:

2 NO(g) \leftrightarrow N_2(g) + O_2(g); Kp_2 = \frac{1}{2.3 x 10^{-19}}=4.35x10^{18}

N_2(g) + 2O_2(g) \leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g);Kp_3=(8.4x10^{-7})^2=7.056x10^{-13}

Subsequently, to obtain the main reaction, we add the aforementioned reference rearranged reactions as shown below (just as reference):

2NO(g)+N_2(g)+2O_2\leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g)+N_2+O_2

Consequently, the equilibrium constant is computed as:

Kp=\frac{[N_2][O_2]}{[NO]^2} * \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2][O_2]^2} =Kp_2*Kp_3=4.35x10^{18}*7.056x10^{-13}=3.07x10^6

Best regards.

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the boiling of water, and exp
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

ΔH > 0; ΔS >0; ΔG = 0

Not spontaneous when T < 100 °C;

         Equilibrium when T = 100 °C

      Spontaneous when T > 100 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The process is

H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ H₂O(g)

ΔH > 0 (positive), because we must <em>add heat</em> to boil water

ΔS > 0 (positive), because changing from a liquid to a gas i<em>ncreases the disorder </em>

ΔG = 0, because the liquid-vapour equilibrium process is at <em>equilibrium</em> at 100 °C

ΔG = ΔH – TΔS

Both ΔH and ΔS are positive.

If T = 100 °C, ΔG =0. ΔH = TΔS, and the system is at equilibrium.


If T < 100 °C, the ΔH term will predominate, because T has decreased below the equilibrium value.

ΔG > 0. The process is not spontaneous below 100 °C.


If T > 100 °C, the TΔS term will predominate, because T has increased above the equilibrium value.

ΔG < 0. The process is spontaneous above 100 °C.

Calculate the second volumes. 51.7 L at 27 C and 90.9 KPa to STP
Arturiano [62]

The second volume : 42.2 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

51.7 L at 27 C and 90.9 KPa

Required

The second volume

Solution

STP = P₂=1 atm, T₂=273 K

T₁ = 27 + 273 = 300 K

P₁ = 90.9 kPa = 0,897 atm

Use combine gas law :

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Input the value :

0.897 x 51.7/300 = 1 x V₂/273

V₂= 42.20 L
