Answer:
Tube 2: 8.26 * 10^-3; Tube 4: 6.83 * 10^-5
Explanation:
In the serial dilutions for MIC test, the volume of nutrient broth in each tube should be equal: 5.0 mL. And the volume of agent in each dilution should also be similar: 0.5 mL.
The serial dilutions was as following:
- Tube 1: 0.5/5.5
- Tube 2: 0.5 mL of tube 1 was diluted with 5.0 mL broth. Then, the dilution of tube 2 is (1:11) * (1:11) = (0.5/5.5) * (0.5/5.5) = 1:121 = 8.26 * 10^-3
- Tube 3: We perform the similar calculation. Thus, the result is 1:1331 = 7.51 * 10^-4
- Tube 4: It is 1:14641 = 6.83 * 10^-5.
Answer:
1
Explanation:
The empirical formula describes the simplest whole number ratio of each type of atom in a compound. To find this formula, you need to (1) convert grams of each element to moles (via their atomic masses) and then (2) find the ratio of each element (by dividing each molar value by the smallest mole value).
(Step 1)
Atomic Mass (Zn): 65.380 g/mol
Atomic Mass (C): 12.011 g/mol
Atomic Mass (O): 15.998 g/mol
10.40 grams Zn 1 mole
------------------------ x ------------------------ = 0.159 moles Zn
65.380 grams
1.92 grams C 1 mole
--------------------- x ----------------------- = 0.160 moles C
12.011 grams
7.68 grams O 1 mole
---------------------- x ------------------------ = 0.480 moles O
15.998 grams
(Step 2)
0.159 moles Zn / 0.159 = 1 atom Zn
0.160 moles C / 0.159 = 1 atom C
0.480 moles O / 0.159 = 3 atom O
The empirical formula is Zn₁C₁O₃. Therefore, the value that should be in the space is 1.
Answer: b
Explanation: t affects weather patterns, it affects ocean currents, and it even affects air travel. As important as the Coriolis Effect is, many have not heard about it, and even fewer understand it. In simple terms, the Coriolis Effect makes things (like planes or currents of air) traveling long distances around the Earth appear to move at a curve as opposed to a straight line.
It’s a pretty weird phenomenon, but the cause is simple: Different parts of the Earth move at different speeds.
