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>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

The empirical formula of styrene is CH; its molar mass is 104.1 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of styrene?
Natalija [7]
You got the answer correct. If you would double check
given:C (12 g/mol) H (1 g/mol). 

12(8) + 1(8) = 104 g/mol

and for C2H4
12(2)+1(4) = 28g/mol

Also, chemical formula of styrene is<span> C6H5CH=CH2.</span>
