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!

Answer:

C. Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is one of the end-product of combustion reactions involving many fuels today.

With the rapid increase in urbanization and technological development, man demand for energy increased tremendously. The discovery of fossil fuels paved the way for the astronomical increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil invovles the process where the carbon atoms present in these fuels combine with oxygen in the air to make CO2. This has resulted in an increase in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).

The burning fossil fuels for electricity, industry, heat, and transportation are the major sources of the emossion of carbon dioxide.

Also, the cutting down of trees for paper production, building construction and for the establishment of settlements also increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees are help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. However, when these trees are cut down, carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere.

Review energy changes by identifying the correct statements about each reaction.
Grace [21]

Answer: The reaction is exothermic

The \Delta H value is negative.

Heat is a product.

Explanation:

2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+136.6kcal

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and \Delta H for the reaction comes out to be negative.

The substances which are written on the left side of the arrow are reactants and the substances which are written on the right side of the arrow are products. Thus heat is a product.
