Taylor, a MIC 206 student needs to determine the OCD of a sample of Escherichia coli. She performed dilutions using four 9 ml di

lution blanks and plated 1.0 ml from the final dilution tube. 137 colonies grew on the plate. Calculate the number of CFU/ml that should be present in the original E. Coli sample.

Answer:

1.37 x 10^6 CFU/mL

Explanation:

First, the dilution factor needs to be calculated.

Since four 9 ml dilution blanks were prepared, the dilution factor that yielded 137 colonies is of 10^{-4}.

Next is to divide the colony forming unit from the dilution by the dilution factor:

   137/10^{-4} = 137 x 10^4

In order to get the CFU/ml, divide the CFU from the dilution by the plated volume (1 mL) from the final dilution tube.

   137 x 10^4/1 = 1.37 x 10^6

Hence, the CFU/ml present in the original <em>E. coli </em> sample is 1.37 x 10^6.

cfu/ml = (no. of colonies x dilution factor) / volume of culture plate

A solution of 0.0027 M K2CrO4 was diluted from 3.00 mL to 100. mL. What is the molarity of the new solution?
Stells [14]

Answer:

[K₂CrO₄] → 8.1×10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

First of all, you may know that if you dilute, molarity must decrease.

In the first solution we need to calculate the mmoles:

M = mmol/mL

mL . M = mmol

0.0027 mmol/mL . 3mL = 0.0081 mmoles

These mmoles  of potassium chromate are in 3 mL but, it stays in 100 mL too.

New molarity is:

0.0081 mmoles / 100mL = 8.1×10⁻⁵ M
