You are to fix dinners for 400 people at a convention of Mexican food fans. Your recipe calls for 2 jalapeño peppers per serving (one serving per person). However, you have only habanero peppers on hand. The spiciness of peppers is measured in terms of the scoville heat unit (SHU). On average, one jalapeño pepper has a spiciness of 4000 SHU and one habanero pepper has a spiciness of 300 000 SHU. To get the desired spiciness, how many habanero peppers should you substitute for the jalapeño peppers in the recipe for the 400 dinners?

- One mole of Gold (Au) atom has a mass of 197 g. We know that the density of gold is 19.30 g/cm3 in room temperature. Using those numbers, answer the following questions: a) What is the mass of a single gold atom in kg? b) Assume that gold atoms sit in a perfect cubic crystal structure. Estimate the distance between two gold atoms in meters. c) If we have a gold cube of 6 cm on each side, how many atoms can we fit along the edge of each side of the cube? d) What would be the mass, in kilograms, of the gold cube we discussed in part (c) (measuring 6 cm on each side)?arrow_forwardA scientist is working with 19 meters of gold wire. How long is the wire in millimeters? Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.arrow_forwardFat cells in humans are composed almost entirely of pure triglycerides with an average density of about 900 kg/m3. If 20% of the mass of a 70 kg student’s body is fat (a typical value), what is the total volume of the fat in his body?arrow_forward
- the average density of an atom is approximately 103 kg/m3. The nucleus of an atom has a radius about 10-5 times that of the entire atom, and contains nearly all the mass of the atom. What is the approximate density, in kilograms per cubic meter, of a nucleus?arrow_forwardThe equation for the ideal gas is (P – a/V2) (V-b) = K. Here P is the pressure, V is the volume of the gas. If a and b are constants, what is the the units of a/b.arrow_forwardThis information will be used to answer questions 1-5. Dimension Y is the sum of three parts sequentially numbered 1 through 3. Their dimensions are X1, X2, and X3. The overall dimension is given by Y = X, + X2 - X3. The dimensions are specified as X1 = 10 mm, X2 60 mm, and Xg = 35 mm. Tolerance desired on Y is 45 um. %3! The unit tolerance value for the first part (i.e., i) is: O 0.979 um O 0.097 um O 1.069 um O 1.433 um The constant of proportionality C [mm/um] is: O 0.1758 um O 0.0137 um O 0.0163 um O 0.0176 umarrow_forward
- On average, each person in the industrialized world is responsible for the emission of 10,000 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year. This includes the CO2 that you generate directly, by burning fossil fuels to operate your car or your furnace, as well as the CO2 generated on your behalf by electric generating stations and manufacturing plants. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. What is the volume, in m3, of 10,000 kg of CO2 at 20°C and 1.0 atm pressure? To put this in perspective, the volume of a typical hotair balloon is 3000 m3.arrow_forwardAlthough these quantities vary from one type of cell to another, a cell can be 1.9 um in diameter with a cell wall 60 nm thick.arrow_forwardWrite the answer down.

- The density of water Is known to be 0.9998395 g/cm. During experimentation, you determine the density of water to be 1.0220 g/cm³. ASK YOUR TEACHER Using the correct % error/difference/change formula, (you are not being told which % formula to use - you must decide which one is correct for this situation) calculate the answer to the correct number of significant figures. The formulas are: percent change, percent difference, percent error.
