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.

posledela

Answer:

The volume of mercury-contaminated water that has to be consumed to ingest 0.100 g mercury is 2.50 × 10⁴ l

Explanation:

Hi there!

First, let´s convert 0.100 g to mg:

0.100 g · (1000 mg/1 g) = 100 mg

The contaminated water has 0.004 mg per liter, then, we have to find the volume of water that contains 100 mg of mercury:

100 mg · (1 l / 0.004 mg) = 2.50 × 10⁴ l

Then, the volume of mercury-contaminated water ( at a concentration of 0.004 mg/l) that has to be consumed to ingest 0.100 g mercury is 2.50 × 10⁴ l

Have a nice day!

Why is alchemy not considered a science
Dima020 [189]
That is because Alchemy is not based on real research and facts, but rather on magic and occultism. Sure, many things in it have been used as basics for some chemistry, but most is false and incorrect.

Oftentimes solubility of a compound limits the concentration of the solution that can be prepared. Use the solubility data given
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

NaNO3 (solubility = 89.0 g/100 g H2O)

Explanation:

The solubility of a specie is the amount of solute that will dissolve in one litre of the solvent. Solubility is usually expressed in units of molarity.

Now let us calculate the molarity of the NaNO3 (solubility = 89.0 g/100 g H2O)

Molar mass of NaNO3= 23+14+3(16)= 85gmol-1

Mass of solute=89.0g

Amount of solute= mass of NaNO3/molar mass of NaNO3

Amount of solute= 89.0g/85.0 gmol-1

= 1.0moles of NaNO3

Note that 100g of water=100cm^3 of water.

If 1.0 moles of NaNO3 dissolve in 100cm^3 or water therefore,

x moles of NaNO3 will dissolve in 1000cm^3 of water

x= 1.0 × 1000/ 100

x= 10.0 moles of NaNO3
