The diffusion coefficient of a particular kind of tRNA molecule is D = 1.0 10−11m2 s−1 in the medium of a cell interior. How long does it take molecules produced in the cell nucleus to reach the walls of the cell at a distance 1.00um, corresponding to the radius of the cells?
A bubble of air is rising from the sea floor, from a depth of about 500 m. At this depth the pressure is 5.1*106 Pa (about 50.3 atm) and is at a temperature of about 7.0° C. It rises to the surface with the atmosphere, at a temperature of 20° C. If the bubble is observed to have a volume of 4 cm³ at the surface, what was its volume at the sea floor? Assume the number of moles of gas in the bubble is constant. B.

A research group recently made an interesting discovery, while studying laser interactions with molecular gases. They found that nitrous oxide molecules (mass 44.013 g per mole) can reach temperatures exceeding 1,648 degrees Celsius after a interacting with a few closely-spaced (in time) laser pulses.
