You notice something is growing in a 100ml pot of liquid soap. You take 1ml of this liquid soap and perform a serial dilution an

d plate to determine the number of bacteria per 1ml in the liquid soap. On the 1:100,000 dilution you plate out 1ml and get a count of 37 colonies. How many bacteria were present in 1ml of soap (cfu/1ml)?

Answer:

3'700,000 cfu

Explanation:

One way to count the amount of bacteria in a medium is by doing a dilution of the sample and count how many colonies growth. Each colony is a cfu (Colony forming units).

In the problem, you count 37 colonies. The dilution was 1:100,000. That means the bacteria present in the soap is:

37 colonies × (100,000 / 1) = <em>3'700,000 cfu</em>

The pH scale is used to measure the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The scale runs from 0 (very acidic solutions can have a negative pH) to 14 (very alkaline solutions can have a pH higher than this), while a neutral liquid such as pure water has a pH of 7. The pH is linked to the concentration of hydrogen ions (H +) in the solution. Diluting an acid or alkali affects the concentration of H +<span> ions in a solution and therefore affects the pH. In this activity, we will investigate how diluting an acid or alkali affects the pH.

Calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 97.4 g of carbon dioxide. Express your answer to three significant figures and in
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

32.1 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion reaction

C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ ⇒ 4 CO₂ + 5 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 97.4 g of CO₂

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol.

97.4 g × 1 mol/44.01 g = 2.21 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of butane that produced 2.21 moles of carbon dioxide

The molar ratio of C₄H₁₀ to CO₂ is 1:4. The moles of C₄H₁₀ required are 1/4 × 2.21 mol = 0.553 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.553 moles of C₄H₁₀

The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is 58.12 g/mol.

0.553 mol × 58.12 g/mol = 32.1 g
