Answer:

7800 cells

Explanation:

The number of Escherichia coli cells N after n generations is given by

N = 2ⁿ × N₀ where N₀ = initial population

Now making N₀ subject of the formula, we have

N₀ = N/2ⁿ

Since n = 8 and N = 1,996,800 cells, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

N₀ = N/2ⁿ

N₀ = 1,996,800 cells/2⁸

N₀ = 1,996,800 cells/256

N₀ = 7800 cells

So, the initial population of Escherichia coli cells is 7800 cells.

1) If calcium were to combine with the compound barium nitrate, which member of the barium nitrate would calcium replace?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Calcium would displace barium.

Explanation:

Ba(NO₃)₂ + Ca -->  Ca(NO₃)₂ + Ba

There are two types of compounds: molecular/covalent and ionic.

Molecular/covalent compounds are non-metal + non-metal.

Ionic compounds are metal + non-metal.

Looking at the periodic table, barium is a metal. Calcium is also a metal.

Checking a polyatomic ions chart would tell you NO₃⁻ is a non-metal because it has a negative charge.

Since there is no metal + metal compound, the calcium metal would displace barium. The compound remains ionic.

Methyl orange (HMO) is an acid-base indicator. Its two forms in solution are HMO (red) and MO- (yellow). When HMO is added to di
Anna007 [38]

Answer:add acid

Explanation:

Methyl orange is red in acid and yellow in base. When added to distilled water and the colour turns yellow, it means it is in its anion form. The equilibrium can be shifted towards the acid form (HMO) by adding acid. The acid will protonate the indicator shifting the position of equilibrium towards the acid side and the solution turns red.

A solution of an unknown nonvolatile nonelectrolyte was prepared by dissolving 0.250 g of the substance in 40.0 g of ccl4. the b
Finger [1]
Answer : The molar mass of the solute will be 87.90 g/mol.

Explanation : We know the formula for elevation in boiling point, which is

Δt = iK_{b}m

given that, Δt = 0.357, K_{b} = 5.02 and mass of CCl _{4} = 40,

on substituting the value we get,
0.357 = (1) X (5.02) X (x/ 0.044), on solving we get x = 2.844 X10^{-3}. 
Now, 0.250/ 2.844 X10^{-3} = 87.90 g/mol. which is the weight of unknown component.
