Answer:
36
Explanation:
Since the sample was undiluted the number of colonies is the number that grew on the nutrient agar which is 36 colonies. If it was diluted for example let say 0.1 ml from a dilution in which 1 ml of the sample was added to 9 ml of water, and it grew colonies then 0.1 ml yielded 6 colonies, 1 ml of the diluted sample will yield 60 colonies and 10 ml will have 600 colonies and therefore the 1 ml undiluted sample will have 600 colonies.
Answer: The rate constant for the reaction is 
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,
k = rate constant
t = age of sample = 559 min
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 
a - x = amount left after decay process = 



The rate constant for the reaction is 
Uhhh pretty sure B
