The size of spherical aerobic bacteria is limited by the rate at which oxygen diffuses through water. A bacterium with a radius greater than about 15 µm is not able to obtain enough oxygen from the surrounding water to sustain itself. Given that the diffusion constant of oxygen in water is 12 x 10-10 m2/s, how long does it take oxygen in water to diffuse a diffusion length of 15 µm?

The magnitude of the amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per unit mass, is called its fuel value. note that the fuel value is the negative of the isobaric specific heat of combustion for the fuel. if all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of butane with a fuel value of 10.85 kcal/g is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 18.3 °c, what is the final temperature? note that 1 lb = 453.6 g.
