Answer: -

The approximate number of atoms in a bacterium is 10¹¹

Explanation: -

We are given the mass of a bacterium is 10⁻¹⁵ kg.

We are told that the mass of a hydrogen atom is 10⁻²⁷ kg.

Finally we learn that the average mass of an atom of the bacterium is ten times the mass of a hydrogen atom.

Mass of an atom of bacterium = 10 x mass of hydrogen atom

                                                   = 10 x 10⁻²⁷ kg.

                                                   = 10⁻²⁶ kg.

Thus the number of atoms in a bacterium = \frac{Total mass}{mass of 1 bacterium atom}

                                                                      = \frac{10-15 kg}{10-26 kg}

                                                                      = 10¹¹

An aluminum block has a density of 2.70 g/mL. If the mass of the block is 24.60 g, find the volume of the substance.
harina [27]

Volume of a substance can be determined by dividing mass of the substance by its density.

That can be mathematical shown as:

Density=Mass/Volume

So, Volume=Mass/Density

Here mass of the substance given as 24.60 g

Whereas density of the substance is 2.70 g/mL

So,

Volume=Mass/Density

=24.6/2.7

=9.1 mL

So volume of the substance is 9.1 mL.
