Interpretation:
Whether a tiny ant can be seen by atomic force microscope but not by optical microscope or not should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Objects are categorized on the basis of size range they fall in. Macroscopic objects are those which lie in the size range that human eye can perceive and microscopic objects are those which need the use of specialized instruments like electron microscope or atomic force microscope.
Human eye can detect approximately up to the size of

- Why should nonscience majors study science?arrow_forwardAn atom of rhodium (RhRh) has a diameter of about 2.7×10−8cm2.7×10−8cm. What is the radius of a rhodium atom in angstroms (ÅÅ)?arrow_forwardCalculate the edge length in m and the volume in L for a cubical box that will “exactly” contain 4.32x1023 atoms. Assume the diameter of the Argon atom is 3.4 Å (1.000 Å = 1.000x10-10 m). Assume the atoms touch each other so that the closest distance between atomic centers (nuclei) is 3.4 Å and the atoms fill the box with MANY layers of Argon atoms.Note: a cubical box needs only one measurement to be defined because each edge of a cube is exactly the same length, l,so that the volume of the box, V = l3.arrow_forward
- Using dimensional analysis show how you arrived at your answer. if the diameter of a sodium atom is 3.14 x 10^-8 cm, how many sodium atoms would fit along a straight line exactly one (1) inch long?arrow_forwardIf the radius of a silicon atom is 0.00000000118 cm, what is the radius in nm?arrow_forward3. What is parallax and why must it be avoided when measuring liquids with a graduated cylinder and other volumetric apparatus?arrow_forward
- How many nL are there in (3.67x10^3) cLarrow_forwardThe sodium D lines from a sodium lamp consist primarily of a doublet at 589.5 and 589.0 nm. Suppose we can obtain a grating with 500 lines/cm of any size we choose. How long (in cm) should the grating be required to separate the two sodium lines in the first order? Suppose the full length of the grating is illuminated. Respond with the correct number of significant figures in scientific notation (Use E notation and only 1 digit before decimal e.g. 2.5E5 for 2.5 x 105) Type your numeric answer and submit 2.96E3 Hint R= lambda/Deta lambda=nLM N=1 for the strongest signals X You are incorrectarrow_forwardA student finds that 24.96 g of water at 24.9 C(density=0.9971 g/cm3) is required to completly fill an empty flask. The water is removed and completely dried; granular solid copper weighing 51.24g is then added to the flask. With the copper present in the flask, it was determined that 19.24 g of water was required to fill the remaining space in the flask completly 1.) volume of the empty flask 2.) volume of the copper 3.) density of the copperarrow_forward
- Foundation Of College Chemistry can you please give me the answer step by step How many significant figues should the answer in each of these calculations contain? (e) 119.1-3.44 (f) 94.5/1.2arrow_forwardIn science it is often useful to estimate if a measurement is "in the right ballpark" by comparing it to a value that you already know. Given that the number of stars in the Milky Way is 100–400 billion and it is likely that most of the stars have at least one planet, what is the best estimate of the number of planets in the Milky Way?arrow_forwardTwo beakers contain clear, colorless liquids. When the contents of the beakers are mixed, a white solid is formed. (a) Is this an example of a chemical or a physical change? (b) What would be the most convenient way to separate the newly formed white solid from the liquid mixture— filtration, distillation, or chromatography. Elaborate your answer.arrow_forward
