Theory because a theory has to be backed up by several experiments
First, let calculate the volume of the rod shaped-bacteria:
S = length of the bacteria * surface of its side = 4.1 * (0.45 *0.45 * 3.14) = 2.6 µm3
Now, let's convert the moles into molecules (with Avogadro's law):
0.0037mol/L = 0.0037 * 6.023 *10^23 = 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L
Now let's convert The volume and the concetrnation into µm3 (molecules / µm3)
1 L = 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3 = 1000000 mm3 = 10^9 µm3
so 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L = 2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3
The answer is 2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3
A body of permeable rock which can contain or transmit groundwater.
