What was the variable in Pasteur's experiment?

Answer:

a swan neck flask that prevented air from getting in

Explanation:

he placed equal amounts of the broth into two long-necked flasks. He left one flask with a straight neck. The other he bent to form an "S" shape.

Then he boiled the broth in each flask to kill any living matter in the liquid. The sterile broths were then left to sit, at room temperature and exposed to the air, in their open-mouthed flasks.

After several weeks, Pasteur observed that the broth in the straight-neck flask was discolored and cloudy, while the broth in the curved-neck flask had not changed.

He concluded that germs in the air were able to fall unobstructed down the straight-necked flask and contaminate the broth. The other flask, however, trapped germs in its curved neck,­ preventing them from reaching the broth, which never changed color or became cloudy.

If 1/8 remains after 21 years, what is the half-life?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Half life formula

The number of unstable nuclei remaining after time t can be determined according to this equation:

N(t) = N(0) * 0.5^(t/T)

where:

N(t) is the remaining quantity of a substance after time t has elapsed.

N(0) is the initial quantity of this substance.

T is the half-life.

It is also possible to determine the remaining quantity of a substance using a few other parameters:

N(t) = N(0) * e^(-t/τ)

N(t) = N(0) * e^(-λt)

τ is the mean lifetime - the average amount of time a nucleus remains intact.

λ is the decay constant (rate of decay).

All three of the parameters characterizing a substance's radioactivity are related in the following way:

T = ln(2)/λ = ln(2)*τ

How to calculate the half life

Determine the initial amount of a substance. For example, N(0) = 2.5 kg.

Determine the final amount of a substance - for instance, N(t) = 2.1 kg.

Measure how long it took for that amount of material to decay. In our experiment, we observed that it took 5 minutes.

Input these values into our half life calculator. It will compute a result for you instantaneously - in this case, the half life is equal to 19.88 minutes.

If you are not certain that our calculator returned the correct result, you can always check it using the half life formula.

Compared to its surroundings, the concentration of solutes is low inside a cell so, the cell is in a hypertonic, hypotonic or is
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The cell is in a hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

The solution is hypertonic because the amount of solute(s) is higher outside of the cell than it is inside the cell, so the solvent (e.g. water) would move from the cell to the solution in order to obtain equilibrium between the two.

Which two body systems interact to expel the waste product carbon dioxide
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

excretory system  and circulatory system

Explanation:

Blood is  part of circulatory system and as it move through various organs it exchanges the gases i.e give oxygen to the cell and take carbon dioxide from them. After taking CO2, the  blood becomes impure and hence it passes through the kidney before going to the heart. Kidney is part of excretory system which removes carbon dioxide from blood and thus purifies it.

What is an adaptation?
MariettaO [177]

Answer: An adaptation is a change That’s happens to a species of animal over a long period of time. The point of an adaptation is to help the animal survive easier in the wild. An example would be a giraff’s neck. Giraffes adapted to have long necks so that they can reach the leaves on trees.
