Answer:

Many emerging diseases arise when infectious agents in animals are passed to humans (referred to as zoonoses). As the human population expands in number and into new geographical regions, the possibility that humans will come into close contact with animal species that are potential hosts of an infectious agent increases.

To gain an idea as to how many atoms are in a gram or so of copper, use the larger balance

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must understand the relationship between mass of a substance and the number of atoms.

Atoms are the smallest indivisible particles of any matter. A substance can be made up of several number of atoms in their space.

The mass of any substance is a function of the amount of atoms its contains.

The mass of a substance is related in chemistry to the amount of atoms its contains using the parameter called the number of moles.

A mole is the amount of substance that contains the Avogadro's number of particles. This number is 6.02 x 10²³ particles. The particles here can be protons, neutrons, electrons, atoms e.t.c.

Now,

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of copper = 63.6g/mole

Number of moles = $\frac{2}{63.6}$ = 0.03mole

Since 1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³atoms

0.03 mole of copper will contain 0.03 x 6.02 x 10²³atoms

= 1.89 x 10²² atoms

He needs to add 1.89 x 10²² atoms to make 2g of the sample.

A gas occupies a volume of 650.0 mL when the pressure is 3.50 atm. What will the new volume be if the pressure is reduced to 1.6

Gemiola [76]

The new volume will be 1379 mL.

Explanation:

As per Boyle's law, the product of initial volume and initial pressure of any gas molecule is equal to the product of final volume and final pressure of those molecules.

So here the initial volume is 650 ml and the initial pressure is 3.50 atm. As the temperature is said to be constant, then this system will be obeying Boyle's law. So, the final pressure is given as 1.65 atm. As there is a reduction in the pressure, the volume of the gas is tend to get expanded.

$P_{1} V_{1} = P_{2} V_{2}$
