Yeast cells are recovered from a fermentation broth by using a tubular centrifuge. Sixty percent of the cells are recovered at a

Serga [27]

Answer:

$\\ \omega = 5033.22 \ rpm$

Explanation:

Given that:

$R_1 = 0.6\\\\R_2 = 0.95\\\\\omega_1 = 4000 \ rpm\\\\\omega_2 = ???\\\\Q_1 = 12\ l/min\\\\Q_2 = 12\ l/min$

For a continuous centrifuge ; solid recovery R ∝ $\frac{\omega^2}{Q}$

where;

ω = angular velocity of the centrifuge in rpm

Q = flow rate

SO;

$R_1 \alpha \frac{4000^2}{12}$

$R_2 \alpha \frac{\omega^2}{12}$

$\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{4000^2}{12}$ ÷ $\frac{\omega^2 }{12}$

$\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{4000^2}{12} * \frac{12}{\omega^2}$

$\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{4000^2}{\omega^2}\\\\\frac{0.6}{0.95} = \frac{4000^2}{\omega^2}$

${\omega^2} = \frac{4000^2*0.95}{0.6}\\\\\\{\omega} = \sqrt{ \frac{4000^2*0.95}{0.6}}\\\\\\ \omega = 5033.22 \ rpm$

A fossil is found to have a 14c14c level of 73. 73. 0 ompared to living organisms. how old is the fossil?

AnnyKZ [126]

If the 14C level of fossils is 73% compared to living organisms. It will be 2602 years.

<h3>What is radiocarbon dating? </h3>

This method is used to estimate the relative age of carbon-based materials. This is done usually for fossils which originate from living organisms.

This age is estimated by estimating the percentage of carbon-14 isotopes in the fossil. This is done by comparing this percentage to a reference standard used internationally. This method is of tremendous use in palaeontology. It has also found its use in hydrology, oceanography, geology etc.

Fossil age is determined by

At = (Ao) x (1 - 0.5)^(t/h)

Here, At/Ao = 0.73

So, 0.73 = 0.5^(t/5730)

Therefore, t = 2602 years
