- Some scientists think there are living things smaller than bacteria (New York Times, January 18, 2000, p. D1). Called nanobes, they are roughly cylindrical and range from 20 to 150 nm long and about 10 nm in diameter. One approach to determining whether nanobes are living is to estimate how many atoms and molecules could make up a nanobe. If the number is too small, then there would not be enough DNA, protein, and other biological molecules to carry out life processes. To test this method, estimate an upper limit for the number of atoms that could be in a nanobe. (Use a small atom, such as hydrogen.) Also estimate how many protein molecules could fit inside a nanobe. Do your estimates rule out the possibility that a nanobe could be living? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by the phrase sustainable development?arrow_forward1-12 The life expectancy of a citizen in the United States is 76 years.

- Which of the following statements is a scientific theory? (a) The energy in an atomic nucleus is found by E = mc². (b) There is the same number of molecules in equal -volumes of gases. (c) If the temperature of a gas doubles, the pressure doubles. (d) The region surrounding the nucleus has negative charges.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a chemical change?

- A painting sold for $291 in 1978 and was sold again in 1985 for $459. Assume that the growth in the value v of the collectors item was exponential. Find the value of k of the exponential growth rate.

The government responds that it is too much of an inconvenience to have this busy road obstructed for three months, so the job must be completed in one month. If the relationship between construction time and crew members is inversely proportional, how many crew members does the construction team need if they are to complete the job in one month? Express your answer as an integer.arrow_forwardThe main type of separation techniques are thickening (water removed from product),Evaporation (separation of two liquids), Filtration (separation of solid particles from liquid) what characterizes them and what is the main difference between them and effect they have on food?arrow_forward
- Richards and Williard determined the molar mass of lithium and collected the following data (a) Find the mean molar mass determined by these workers. (b) Find the median molar mass (c) Assuming that the currently accepted value for the molar mass of lithium is the true value, calculate the absolute error and the present relative error of the mean value determined by Richards and Williard. (f) What factors have led to changes in molar mass since 191? (g) How would you determine the accuracy of a molar mass?

Thank you!arrow_forwardCombining one atom of carbon with two atoms of oxygen produces one molecule of carbon dioxide, along with 6.5 x 10-19 J of energy. In 2019, the United States burned enough coal to supply 1.1 x 1019 J of energy. Assuming that coal is roughly 100% carbon, how many molecules of carbon dioxide did the U.S. produce by burning coal in 2019? Less than 1036 molecules of carbon dioxide. Between 1036 and 1038 molecules of carbon dioxide. Between 1038 and 1040 molecules of carbon dioxide. More than 1040 molecules of carbon dioxide.arrow_forward
