Answer:

From the periodic table:

mass of carbon = 12 grams

mass of hydrogen = 1 grams

mass of oxygen = 16 grams

molar mass of surcose = 12(12) + 22(1) + 11(16) = 342 grams

number of molecules = number of moles x Avogadro's number

number of moles = number of molecules / Avogadro's number

number of moles = (2.2x10^17) / (6.02x10^23) = 3.6544 x 10^-7 moles

number of moles = mass / molar mass

mass = number of moles x molar mass

= 1.7 x 10^17/6.022 x 10^23.

Answer:

Our process would be just turning the molecules of sucrose to the moles by dividing using Avogadro's number (6.02 x 10^23), which will give us the moles we need. In order to find the mass of the sucrose, you have to multiply the moles by the molar mass of sucrose in order to find the mass, and then multiply by it 1000 to change it to mg.

Here are the formulas:

Number of moles = Number of molecules / Avogadro's number

Mass = Moles x Molar mass

Number of moles = (1.4 x 10^17) / (6.02 x 10^23) = <u>2.3255814 x 10^-7 </u>moles

Now that we have the moles, we can multiply them by Sucrose's molar mass, which can be calculated by using the masses listed in the periodic table.

Carbon's Molar Mass = 12g/mol (There are 12 atoms of Carbon in sucrose)

Hydrogen's Molar mass = 1.01g/mol (22 atoms of Hydrogen in sucrose)

Oxygen's Molar mass = 16g/mol (11 atoms of oxygen in sucrose)

Now we just add them together:

((12)x(12)) + ((1.01)x(22)) + ((16)x(11)) = <u>342.22g/mol</u> is the molar mass of Sucrose

Now back to the question, you multiply the moles of sucrose by its molar mass to get the mass in grams

(2.3255814 x 10^-7) x (342.22) = 0.0000796 grams

Now to get it in milligrams, you multiply the answer above by 1000

0.0000796 x 1000 = <u>0.079 mg (already in 2 sig figs)</u>

<u />

<u>Therefore there are 0.079 milligrams of sucrose in the sugar crystal.</u>

When chemical, transport, or mechanical work is done by an organism, what happens to the heat generated?
dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

The heat generated when chemical, transport, or mechanical work is done by the organism is lost to the environment.

The the matter from one organism to the other is transferred via energy. The producer's produce and consumer's consume this energy according to 10% law. Most of the energy is lost (90% ) to the environment in form of heat.

How would a collapsing universe affect light emitted from clusters and superclusters? A. Light would acquire a blueshift. B. Lig
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Choice A: Light would acquire a blueshift.

Explanation:

When a universe collapses, clusters of stars start to move towards each other. There are two ways to explain why light from these stars will acquire a blueshift.

Stars move toward each other; Frequency increases due to Doppler's Effect.

The time period t of a beam of light is the same as the time between two consecutive peaks. If \lambda is the wavelength of the beam, and both the source and observer are static, the time period T will be the same as the time it takes for light travel the distance of one \lambda (at the speed of light in vacuum, c).

\displaystyle t = \frac{\lambda}{c}.

Frequency f is the reciprocal of time period. Therefore

\displaystyle f = \frac{1}{t} = \frac{c}{\lambda}.

Light travels in vacuum at a constant speed. However, in a collapsing universe, the star that emit the light keeps moving towards the observer. Let the distance between the star and the observer be d when the star sent the first peak.

  • Distance from the star when the first peak is sent: d.
  • Time taken for the first peak to arrive: \displaystyle t_1 =\frac{d}{c}.

The star will emit its second peak after a time of. Meanwhile, the distance between the star and the observer keeps decreasing. Let v be the speed at which the star approaches the observer. The star will travel a distance of v\cdot t before sending the second peak.

  • Distance from the star when the second peak is sent: d - v\cdot t.
  • Time taken for the second peak to arrive: \displaystyle t_2 =t + \frac{d - v\cdot t}{c}.

The period of the light is t when emitted from the star. However, the period will appear to be shorter than t for the observer. The time period will appear to be:

\begin{aligned}\displaystyle t' &= t_2 - t_1\\ &= t + \frac{d - v\cdot t}{c} - \frac{d}{c}\\&= t + (\frac{d}{c} - \frac{v\cdot t}{c}) -\frac{d}{c}\\&= t - \frac{v\cdot t}{c} \end{aligned}.

The apparent time period t' is smaller than the initial time period, t. Again, the frequency of a beam of light is inversely proportional to its period. A smaller time period means a higher frequency. Colors at the high-frequency end of the visible spectrum are blue and violet. The color of the beam of light will shift towards the blue end of the spectrum when observed than when emitted. In other words, a collapsing universe will cause a blueshift on light from distant stars.

The Space Fabric Shrinks; Wavelength decreases as the space is compressed.

When the universe collapses, one possibility is that clusters of stars move towards each other. Alternatively, the space fabric might shrink, which will also bring the clusters toward each other.

It takes time for light from a distant cluster to reach an observer on the ground. The space fabric keeps shrinking while the beam of light makes its way through the space. The wavelength of the beam will shrink at the same rate. The wavelength of the beam of light will be shorter by the time the beam arrives at its destination.

Colors at the short-wavelength end of the visible spectrum are blue and violet. Again, the color of the light will shift towards the blue end of the spectrum. The conclusion will be the same: a collapsing universe will cause a blueshift on light from distant stars.
