Answer:
- <u>The elements that belong to the nitrogen family are nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimonium, bismuth, and moscovium.</u>
Explanation:
<em>Families</em> are group of elements that belong to the same column in the periodic table.
Some families have a well known name. For instance, alkali metals is the family of the elements that belong to the first column: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr (H is an exception, in spite it is in the first column it does not belong to the alkali metals family because it is a nonmetal). Other well known families are alkaline earth metals (column 2), halogens (column 3), and noble gases (column 18).
All the members of a family have the same number of valence electrons, i.e. electrons in the outermost shell.
- <u>Nitrogen</u>, N, is in the column 15; it has 5 valence electrons, because its outer most shell has configurarion ns²np³ (n is 2 because nitrogen is in the second period).
The other members fo this family with the electron configuration of the outermost shell are:
- <u>Phosphorus</u>, P, 3s² 3p³ (third period)
- <u>Arsenic,</u> As, 4s² 4p³ (fourth period)
- <u>Antimonium</u>, Sb, 5s² 5p³ (fith period)
- <u>Bismuth</u>, Bi, 6s² 6p³ (sixth period)
- <u>Moscovium</u>, Mc, 7s² 7p³ (seventh period)
Answer:
1.37 x 
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 
.
Next is to divide the colony forming unit from the dilution by the dilution factor:
137/ = 137 x 
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 /1 = 1.37 x
Hence, the CFU/ml present in the original <em>E. coli </em> sample is 1.37 x .
cfu/ml = (no. of colonies x dilution factor) / volume of culture plate
<span>Take the inversion of density: 1mL/13.6 g and multiply it by the conversion factor 453.6 g/ 1 lb and the given 5.00 lb. Units for mass (grams) and units for weight (lbs) cancel leaving only units of volume. I believe it should be 167 mL or 0.167 L</span>
I'm pretty sure number 48 is C. Hope this helped :)
