Answer:

Bacteria can evolve quickly because they reproduce at a fast rate.

Explanation:

Bacteria can evolve quickly because they reproduce at a fast rate. Mutations in the DNA of bacteria can produce new characteristics. A random mutation might cause some bacteria to become resistant to certain antibiotics, such as penicillin.

Answer : The value of $\Delta G_{rxn}$ is, $8.867kJ/mole$

Explanation :

The formula used for $\Delta G_{rxn}$ is:

$\Delta G_{rxn}=\Delta G^o+RT\ln Q$ ............(1)

where,

$\Delta G_{rxn}$ = Gibbs free energy for the reaction

$\Delta G_^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

T = temperature = $25^oC=273+25=298K$

Q = reaction quotient

First we have to calculate the $\Delta G_^o$ .

Formula used :

$\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln K_p$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\Delta G^o=-(8.314J/mole.K)\times (298K)\times \ln (2.26\times 10^{4})$

$\Delta G^o=-24839.406J/mole=-24.83\times 10^3J/mole=-24.83kJ/mole$

Now we have to calculate the value of 'Q'.

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$CO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_3OH(g)$

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

$Q=\frac{(p_{CH_3OH})}{(p_{CO})\times (p_{H_2})^2}$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$Q=\frac{(1.4)}{(1.2\times 10^{-2})\times (1.2\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$Q=8.1\times 10^{5}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $\Delta G_{rxn}$ by using relation (1).

$\Delta G_{rxn}=\Delta G^o+RT\ln Q$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$\Delta G_{rxn}=-24.83kJ/mole+(8.314\times 10^{-3}kJ/mole.K)\times (298K)\ln (8.1\times 10^{5})$

$\Delta G_{rxn}=8.867\times 10^3J/mole=8.867kJ/mole$

Therefore, the value of $\Delta G_{rxn}$ is, $8.867kJ/mole$

According to Raoult's law the relative lowering of vapour pressure of a solution made by dissolving non volatile solute is equal to the mole fraction of the non volatile solute dissolved.

the relative lowering of vapour pressure is the ratio of lowering of vapour pressure and vapour pressure of pure solvent
