Let us consider a bacterial cell that depends on
chemical reactions using oxygen to produce energy.
The cell needs to obtain molecular oxygen from the
extra-cellular medium by diffusion through the cell
membrane.
We model the cell as a water-filled sphere of radius 1 µm. This means that we neglect the
presence of the internal structures of the cell: nucleus, nutrients, etc. The oxygen diffusion
coefficient (O2) in water at 25°C is 1.0x10-5 cm².s'.
Figure 1: Transmission electron microscope
Reminder: The distance travelled by diffusion can be picture of a bacterium. [from Wikipedia:
written as L(t) = V6Dt, where D is the diffusion
coefficient and t the diffusion time.

2. Diffusion as a function of time
People have measured the distance travelled by the oxygen molecule in water as a function of
time. The results are given in the table below.

You are using a 680 W microwave to heat 700 mL of olive oil. If the initial temperature of the oil is 18 C,
what is the temperature after 2 minutes in the microwave? Assume the microwave is 88% efficient. Express
this temperature in Celsius.
Use 1.97 J/gK for the specific heat of olive oil. The specific gravity is 0.915.
What is the volume of 67 mol of gas, in the unit of m3, when the pressure is 87 kPa and the temperature is 68°C? Use R = 8.314 J/(K mol) for the gas constant. Be careful with units, and remember that the temperature must be in Kelvin when you use the ideal gas equation.

For instance, at standard atmospheric pressure nitrogen can absorb into your skin. This is not an issue until you dive underwater. Henry's Law (chemistry) states that the amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid is directly proportional to the gas' partial pressure. When the partial pressure of nitrogen increases, it will be absorbed into the blood stream. This is not particularly dangerous, although it can lead to a pleasant feeling called "nitrogen narcosis" in some people. The real danger is when the diver resurfaces. When the diver begins to ascend, the partial pressure of nitrogen decreases and nitrogen comes out of solution as small bubbles of gas in the bloodstream. The buildup of nitrogen can be removed from the body by passing nitrogen through the bloodstream and into the lungs where it is exhaled. However, this…arrow_forward
