We might expect the oxygen consumption, however, to increase roughly with an organism's volume. Together, this statements imply an upper limit to the size of a bacterium: If R gets too large, the bacterium would literally suffocate. The actual metabolic activity of a bacterium is about 0.02 mole kg-' sl. What limit do you then get on the size R of a bacterium? Compare to the size of a real bacteria. Can you think of some way for a bacterium to evade this limit?arrow_forwardFor which reaction below would you expect to have the largest orientation factor (p)?(a) N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g)(b) O3(g) + O(g) → 2 O2(g)(c) CH3OH(l) + HCl(g) → CH3Cl(l) + H2O(l)(d) 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g)arrow_forward

- Here is the correct statement for Qc and Kc for a certain reaction. Qc value is determined by the concentrations of reactants and products at a particular moment rather than by the temperature, but Kc value stays the same at a certain temperature regardless of the concentrations. For the following reaction at 20oC, the Qc value at a particular time is equal to 3.5 x 10‒5 3A(aq) + B(aq) ⟶ 2C(aq) + D(aq) Kc = 5.5 x 10‒5 If the reaction temperature is suddenly increased to 40oC without affecting the concentration of each component in the system, which of the following is a correct prediction about Qc and Kc at this particular time at 40oC?

- In the laboratory, hydrogen gas of good purity can most easily be obtained by the reaction of a strong acid, like sulfuric acid, on a reactive metal, such as zinc: Zn(s)+H,SO,(uq) - ZnS0, (ag) +H,{g) Suppose an engineer decides to study the rate of this reaction. He prepares four reaction vessels by adding 131.1 g of solid zinc and 74. mL of 5.0 M sulfuric acid solution to each, and then filling the remainder of the vessel with distilled water. The volume and temperature of each vessel is shown in the table below. Arrange the reaction vessels in decreasing order of initial rate of reaction. In other words, select a "1" next to the vessel in which the engineer can reasonably expect the initial rate of reaction to be highest, a "2" next to the vessel in which the initial rate of reaction would be next highest, and so on.
