Answer:

A.) Intended dilution factor : 0.01

B.) Actual dilution factor: 0.039

Explanation:

Dilution factor(DF) is ratio of the volume of the undiluted sample to total volume of diluted solution

A.) What was your intended dilution factor

This would be the the addition 1.0ml from 4.0ml to 99ml of sterile

Volume of sterile diluent = 99ml

Volume of Undiluted sample = 1.0ml

Total volume of diluted solution = 99ml + 1m = 100ml

Dilution factor = Volume of undiluted sample ÷ Total volume of diluted solution

Dilution factor = 1:100

= 1ml ÷ 100ml

= 0.01

B.) What was your actual dilution factor?

This would be the entire addition of 4.0ml to 99ml sterile diluent

Volume of sterile diluent = 99ml

Volume of Undiluted sample = 4.0ml

Total volume of diluted solution = 99ml + 4.0ml = 103ml

Dilution factor = Volume of undiluted sample ÷ Total volume of diluted solution

Dilution factor

= 4:103

= 4ml ÷ 103ml

= 0.039

Calculate the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31. The mass of a phosphorus-31 nucleus is 30.973765 amu. The masses o
Nata [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass defect is defined as the difference in the mass of an isotope and its mass number.

The equation used to calculate mass defect follows:

\Delta m=[(n_p\times m_p)+(n_n\times m_n)]-M

where,

n_p = number of protons

m_p = mass of one proton

n_n = number of neutrons

m_n = mass of one neutron

M = mass number of element

We are given:

An isotope of phosphorus which is _{15}^{31}\textrm{P}

Number of protons = atomic number = 15

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 31 - 15 = 16

Mass of proton = 1.00728 amu

Mass of neutron = 1.00866 amu

Mass number of phosphorus = 30.973765 amu

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta m=[(15\times 1.00728)+(16\times 1.00866)]-30.973765\\\\\Delta m=0.27399

Hence, the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

What are the molality and mole fraction of solute in a 22.3 percent by mass aqueous solution of formic acid (HCOOH)?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Mole fraction for solute = 0.1, or 10%

Molality = 6.24 mol/kg

Explanation:

22.3% by mass → In 100 g of solution, we have  22.3 g of HCOOH

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solute = 22.3 g

Mass of solvent = 100 g - 22.3g = 77.7 g

Let's convert the mass to moles

22.3 g . 1mol/ 46 g = 0.485 moles

77.7 g. 1mol / 18 g = 4.32 moles

Total moles = 4.32 moles + 0.485 moles = 4.805 moles

Xm for solute = 0.485 / 4.805 = 0.100 → 10%

Molality → mol/ kg → we convert the mass of solvent to kg

77.7 g.  1 kg / 1000g = 0.0777 kg

0.485 mol / 0.0777 kg = 6.24 m

How do the atmosphere conditions near the beginning of Precambrian time contrast with the atmosphere conditions that are present
babunello [35]
The early precambrian atmosphere consisted primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide with almost no oxygen. 

<span>Today, the atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen, less carbon dioxide and similar amounts of nitrogen. </span>

<span>Photosynthetic green-leaf plants and trees are largely responsible for the change, converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.</span>
