Some scientists think there are living things smaller than bacteria (New York Times, January 18, 2000, p. D1). Called nanobes, they are roughly cylindrical and range from 20 to 150 nm long and about 10 nm in diameter. One approach to determining whether nanobes are living is to estimate how many atoms and molecules could make up a nanobe. If the number is too small, then there would not be enough DNA, protein, and other biological molecules to carry out life processes. To test this method, estimate an upper limit for the number of atoms that could be in a nanobe. (Use a small atom, such as hydrogen.) Also estimate how many protein molecules could fit inside a nanobe. Do your estimates rule out the possibility that a nanobe could be living? Explain why or why not.
The mole is the SI unit for the amount of a substance. The mass of one mole of pure table sugar is 342.3 grams. How many grams of sugar are in exactly 1/2 mole? What is the mass of 0.764 mole?
On October 21, 1982, the Bureau of the Mint changed the composition of pennies (see Exercise 120). Instead of an alloy of 95% Cu and 5% Zn by mass, a core of 99.2% Zn and 0.8% Cu with a thin shell of copper was adopted. The overall composition of the new penny was 97.6% Zn and 2.4% Cu by mass. Does this account for the difference in mass among die pennies in Exercise 120? Assume the volume of the individual metals that make up each penny can be added together to give the overall volume of the penny, and assume each penny is the same size. (Density of Cu = 8.96 g/cm3; density of Zn = 7.14 g/cm3).

Introduction to Chemistry: Chemical Formulas as Formulas: Converting between Grams of a Compound and Gram of a Constituent Element. Iron is found in Earth's crust as several iron compounds. Calculate the mass (in kgkg) of each compound that contains 7.1×103 kg of iron. Given: Fe2O3 (hematite) Express your answer in kilograms to two significant figures. The answer : Mass = 1.1 x 104 kg But I don't know how it got here. I keep getting 4.9 kg for my answer. Converted it to kilograms also is a challenge for me. I know that 1 g = 1000 kg and that 1 kg = 0.001 g. But i'm not sure how to apply it.
