Your friend smells cinnamon coming from an inflated rubber balloon containing cinnamon extract. You tell him that the cinnamon molecules are passing through the micropores of the balloon. He accepts the idea that the balloon contains micropores but insists that he is simply smelling cinnamon-flavored air. You explain that scientists have discovered that gases are made of molecules, but that’s not good enough for him. He needs to see the evidence for himself. How might you lead him to accept the concept of molecules?

- Manufacturers of headache remedies routinely claim that their own brands are more potent pain relievers than the competing brands. Their way of making the comparison is to compare the number of molecules in the standard dosage. Tylenol uses 325 mg of acetaminophen (C8H9NO2) as the standard dose, whereas Advil uses 2.00 × 102 mg of ibuprofen (C13H18O2). Find the number of molecules of pain reliever in the standard doses of (a) Tylenol and (b) Advil.arrow_forwardhow many grams are in 2.70 x 10^24 molecules of P^4arrow_forwardyeasts are able to produce high internal concentrations of glycerol to counteract the osmotic pressure of the surrounding media. suppose that a sample of yeast cells were placed in a 4% sodium chloride solution by weight. The density of solution is at 25 C = 1.02 g/ml, Molecular weight of solute = 58.44 g/mol, i of glycerol = 1 R=0.08205 L-atm/mol-K What is the weight of solute (in grams)? What is the moles of solute? What is the volume of the solution (in liters)? What is the molarity of the solution? What is the value of the temperature to be used to solve for the osmotic pressure of the solution? What is the osmotic pressure of solution At the same temperature, what will be the molar concentration of glycerol considering the computed osmotic pressure of the solution and the normal osmotic pressure inside a yeast cell of 7.3 atmospheres?arrow_forward
- The active ingredient in the allergy medication Claritin contains carbon (C), hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O). Its molecular formula is C22H23Cl N2O2. The standard adult dosage utilizes 1.424 x 1019 molecules of this species. Determine the mass (in grams) of the active ingredient in the standard dosage.arrow_forwardSulfur compounds cause “off-odors” in wine, so winemakers want to know the odor threshold, the lowest concentration of a compound that the human nose can detect. The odor threshold for dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in trained wine tasters is about 25 micrograms per liter of wine (μg/l). The untrained noses of consumers may be less sensitive, however. Here are the DMS odor thresholds for 10 untrained students: 31 31 43 36 23 34 32 30 20 24 Assume that the standard deviation of the odor threshold for untrained noses is known to be σ = 7 μg/l. The first condition of inference requires the 10 untrained students represent a simple random sample from all untrained consumers. This is not likely but we choose to believe so. The second condition requires the distribution of the thresholds for untrained noses is not too far from a normal distribution. Given the following stem plot, the second condition is also satisified. 2|0343|0112464|3 Give a 95% confidence interval for…arrow_forwardThere are 58 grams of carbs in 1/4 cup of syrup for a particular brand.

If each bacterium is 5µm × 5µm × 20µm in size, find the number of bacteria if their total mass is 30 grams. Recall that 1µm = 10−6 meters. b. Suppose that you learn that the sizes of bacteria range from 4µm × 5µm × 15µmto5µm × 6µm × 25µm.
