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.

When the temperature of the gas changes from cold to hot, the amount of pressure is ___________.
Klio2033 [76]
The pressure would increase. When the temperature change form cold to hot, the gas will find ways to escape from containment. Thus, if it cannot escape that pressure will keep on increasing as the temperature rises.

Answer:

<em><u>Annie Jump Cannon entered Wellesley College in Massachusetts in 1880 to study astronomy. She became interested in stellar spectroscopy, the process of breaking light from stars down into its component colors so the various elements can be identified. After suffering from scarlet fever, which left her hearing impaired, she earned her master�s degree and then continued her studies at Radcliffe College. She became an assistant at the Harvard College Observatory, the first observatory to include women as staff members. During her career, she observed, classified, and analyzed the spectra of some five hundred thousand stars, assigning each one its place in the sequence O, B, A, F, G, K, and M. In 1911 she almost became a faculty member at Harvard but the university officials refused to promote a woman to such high status. So she became the curator of astronomical photographs, earning a salary of twelve hundred dollars a year. Finally, in 1936, Harvard hired her as a permanent faculty member. She was seventy-three years old at the time.</u></em>

For the reaction CO+2H2=CH3OH at 700 K, equilibrium concentrations are [H2]=0.072 M, [CO]= 0.020M, and [CH3OH]= 0.030 M. Calcula
NikAS [45]

The balanced equation for the reaction is

CO(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇄ CH₃OH(g)

 

The given concentrations are at equilibrium state. Hence we can use them directly in calculation with the expression for the equilibrium constant, k. expression for k can be written as

   k = [CH₃OH(g)] / [CO(g)] [H₂<span>(g) ]²

</span>[H₂<span>]=0.072 M
[CO]= 0.020M
[CH</span>₃OH]= 0.030 M

 

From substitution,

   k = 0.030 M / 0.020 M x (0.072 M)²

   k = 289.35 M⁻²

<span>
Hence, equilibrium constant for the given reaction at 700 K is 289.35 M</span>⁻².

A liquid boils when its vapor pressure equals the pressure of the atmosphere.
JulijaS [17]
The answer is true. A liquid boils when its vapor pressure equals the pressure of the atmosphere. At this point, vapor can now readily escape from the liquid phase because it has an equal pressure now with its surrounding which, basically, is in the vapor phase.
