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!

Radon-219 decays to radon-218 by releasing... a. a positron b.a muon O c. a neutron O d. an electron O e. a proton
MrRa [10]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A positron is denoted as ^{0}_{+1}e, a neutron is denoted as ^{1}_{0}n, an electron is denoted as ^{0}_{-1}e, and a proton is denoted as ^{1}_{1}p.

Therefore, when ^{219}Rn will decay into ^{218}Rn this means there occurs decrease in its mass number. Hence, it means a neutron will be releasing during this reaction.

The reaction will be as follows.

                ^{219}Rn \rightarrow ^{218}Rn + ^{1}_{0}n
