Calculate approximately the total translational kinetic energy of all the molecules in E. coli bacterium of mass 2.0 x 10-15kg at 37°C. Assume 70 percent of the cell, by weight, is water (molecular mass of 18.01528g/mol), and the other molecules have an average molec- ular mass on the order of 10°u.

Long-term space missions require reclamation of the oxygen in the carbon dioxide exhaled by the crew. In one method of reclamation, 1.00 mol of carbon dioxide produces 1.00 mol of oxygen, with 1.00 mol of methane as a by-product. The methane is stored in a tank under pressure and is available to control the attitude of the spacecraft by controlled venting. A single astronaut exhales 1.13 kg of carbon dioxide each day. If the methane generated in the recycling of three astronauts' respiration during one week of flight is stored in an originally empty 120-L tank at -45.0°C, what is the final pressure in the tank?
