For each set of dilutions (bleach and mouthwash), the first tube contained a 1:11 dilution (0.5 mL of agent was added to 5.0 mL

of nutrient broth). What was the dilution of the MIC for the mouthwash and the bleach? Hint: You will have to calculate the dilution of each tube 2 – 4.

Answer:

Tube 2: 8.26 * 10^-3; Tube 4: 6.83 * 10^-5

Explanation:

In the serial dilutions for MIC test, the volume of nutrient broth in each tube should be equal: 5.0 mL. And the volume of agent in each dilution should also be similar: 0.5 mL.

The serial dilutions was as following:

  • Tube 1: 0.5/5.5
  • Tube 2: 0.5 mL of tube 1 was diluted with 5.0 mL broth. Then, the dilution of tube 2 is (1:11) * (1:11) = (0.5/5.5) * (0.5/5.5) = 1:121 = 8.26 * 10^-3
  • Tube 3: We perform the similar calculation. Thus, the result is 1:1331 = 7.51 * 10^-4
  • Tube 4: It is 1:14641 = 6.83 * 10^-5.

Three samples of gas each exert 740 mm hg in separate 2 L containers what pressure do they exert if they are all placed in a sin
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

P(total) = 1110 mmHg

Explanation:

According to the Dalton law of partial pressure,

The pressure exerted by mixture of gases are equal to the sum of partial pressure of individual gases.

P(total) = P1 + P2 + P3+ .....+ Pn

Given data:

Sample A = 740 mmHg

Sample B = 740 mmHg

Sample C = 740 mmHg

Total pressure = ?

Solution:

<em>Sample A:</em>

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂

P₂ = 740 mmHg × 2L/4L

P₂ = 370 mmHg

<em>Sample B:</em>

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂

P₂ = 740 mmHg × 2L/4L

P₂ = 370 mmHg

<em>Sample C:</em>

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₂ = P₁V₁ / V₂

P₂ = 740 mmHg × 2L/4L

P₂ = 370 mmHg

Total pressure:

P(total) = P1 + P2 + P3

P(total) =  370 mmHg +  370 mmHg+  370 mmHg

P(total) = 1110 mmHg

Determine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

It is neutral (NR)

Explanation:

Salts are formed when the ionizable hydrogens in an acid is replaced by metallic or ammonium ions from bases. The reaction is known as a neutralization reaction.

The nature of a salt formed from this reaction depends on the nature of the reacting acid and base.

If the reaction is between a strong acid and strong base, the salt produced is a neutral salt.

If the reaction occurs between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt produced is acidic.

If the reaction occurs between a strong base and a weak acid, the salt produced is a basic salt.

Considering the salt above, LiNO3.

On hydrolysis, addition of water, the following products are obtained:

LiNO3 + H2O ----> LiOH + HNO3

The products obtained, LiOH and HNO3 are a strong base and a strong acid respectively. Therefore, the salt, LiNO3, is a neutral salt.

Evaluate the following conversion. Will the answer be correct? Explain. If incorrect, how could you adjust one of the factors to
elena55 [62]

Given :

Rate = 75 m 1 s×60 s 1 min×1 h 60 m.

To Find :

Correct answer after conversion.

Solution :

We know, 1 min = 60 sec.

1 hour = 60 min = 60×60 sec = 3600 sec.

Putting value of min and hour in seconds , we get :

R=((75\times 60) + 1 )\times ( (60 + 1)\times 60 ) \times ( 3600+3600)\ s^3\\\\R=1.186\times 10^{11} \ s^3

Hence, this is the required solution.
