Mass of lipids = 2% x 2x10-11g = 4x10-13 g
Moles of lipids = 4x10-13g x 1 mol / 750 g = 5.33x10-16 mols = 5x10-16 mols (1 sig.fig.)
Ecesu S.
asked 10/26/23how many moles and how many molecules of lipids is included in one bacteria cell which mass is 2.10-11 gram? We assume that such a cell contains 2% of lipids and that the average molar mass of lipids is 750 g/mol.
