First, let calculate the volume of the rod shaped-bacteria:

S = length of the bacteria * surface of its side = 4.1 * (0.45 *0.45 * 3.14) = 2.6 µm3

Now, let's convert the moles into molecules (with Avogadro's law):

0.0037mol/L = 0.0037 * 6.023 *10^23 = 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L

Now let's convert The volume and the concetrnation into µm3 (molecules / µm3)

1 L = 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3 = 1000000 mm3 = 10^9 µm3

so 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L = 2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3

The answer is  2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3

Sort the items based on whether they have gravitational potential energy or chemical potential energy. liquid petroleum gasoline
poizon [28]

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy of body due to its position in the gravitational field.

Whereas chemical potential energy is the energy within the chemical bonds of a substance.

For example, when we eat an apple then we get energy in our body so, it is the chemical potential energy stored in the apple.

Items sorted on the bases of gravitational potential energy and chemical potential energy are as follows.

Gravitational potential energy:

  • a ball thrown up in the air.
  • a stone rolling downhill.
  • water stored in an overhead tank.

Chemical potential energy:

  • liquid petroleum gasoline used in cars.
  • apples that people eat.
  • firecrackers that people set off.
