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!

Acetylene is hyrodgenated to form ethane. The feed to the reactor contains 1.60 mol H2/mol C2H2. The reaction proceeds to comple
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

C₂H₂     +   2H₂   =     C₂H₆

1 mole     2 mole        1 mole

Feed of reactant is 1.6 mole H₂ / mole C₂H₂

or 1.6 mole of H₂ for 1 mole of C₂H₂

required ratio as per chemical reaction written above

2 mole of  H₂ for 1 mole of C₂H₂

So H₂ is in short supply . Hence it is limiting reagent .

1.6 mole of H₂ will react with half of 1.6 mole or .8 mole of C₂H₂ to form .8 mole of C₂H₆

a )Calculate the stoichiometric reactant ratio =  mole H₂ reacted/mole C₂H₂ reacted

= 1.6 / .8 = 2 .

b )

yield ratio = mole C₂H₆ formed / mole H₂ reacted ) = 0.8 / 1.6 = 1/2 = 0.5 .

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

(3R,4R)-4-bromohexan-3-ol

Explanation:

In this case, we have  reaction called <u>halohydrin formation</u>. This is a <u>markovnikov reaction</u> with <u>anti configuration</u>. Therefore the halogen in this case "Br" and the "OH" must have <u>different configurations</u>. Additionally, in this molecule both carbons have the <u>same substitution</u>, so the "OH" can go in any carbon.

Finally, in the product we will have <u>chiral carbons</u>, so we have to find the absolute configuration for each carbon. On carbon 3 we will have an "R" configuration on carbon 4 we will have also an "R" configuration. (See figure 1)

I hope it helps!
