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.

Response:

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

Explanation:

For the MIC test's serial dilutions, each tube should contain an equal volume of nutrient broth: 5.0 mL, while the agent's volume per dilution must also match: 0.5 mL.

The serial dilution process followed was:

  • Tube 1: 0.5/5.5
  • Tube 2: 0.5 mL from tube 1 was diluted with 5.0 mL of broth, resulting in a dilution of tube 2 as (1:11) * (1:11) = (0.5/5.5) * (0.5/5.5) = 1:121 = 8.26 * 10^-3
  • Tube 3: similar calculations yield 1:1331 = 7.51 * 10^-4
  • Tube 4: yields 1:14641 = 6.83 * 10^-5.

A tritium nucleus is formed by combining two neutrons and a proton. the mass of this nucleus is 9.106 × 10–3 universal mass unit
lions [985]
E = mc²

where E = energy produced

m = mass of the nucleus

C = speed of light

m = 9.106 x 10⁻³ x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

C = 3 x 10⁸ m/s, thus C² = 9 x 10¹⁶

E = 1.37 x 10⁻¹² J

Valproic acid, used to treat seizures and bipolar disorder, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.165-g sample is combusted to produce
VMariaS [1037]

Answer:

The empirical formula is = C_4H_8O

The Valproic acid formula is = C_8H_{16}O_2

Explanation:

Mass of the produced water = 0.166 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

The moles of H_2O are calculated as 0.166 g /18 g/mol = 0.00922 moles.

In 1 mole of water, there are 2 moles of hydrogen atoms.

Thus,

Moles of H = 2 x 0.00922 = 0.01844 moles

Each hydrogen atom's molar mass is 1.008 g/mol.

Hydrogen mass in the molecule = 0.01844 x 1.008 = 0.018588 g

Mass of produced carbon dioxide = 0.403 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g/mol

The moles of CO_2 are calculated as 0.403 g  /44.01 g/mol = 0.009157 moles.

Each carbon atom's presence is 1 mole in 1 mole of carbon dioxide.

So,

Moles of C = 0.009157 moles

The molar mass of carbon is 12.0107 g/mol.

Carbon mass in molecule = 0.009157 x 12.0107 = 0.11 g

Since Valproic acid comprises only hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, the oxygen mass in the sample = Total mass - Carbon mass  - Hydrogen mass.

The sample's overall mass = 0.165 g.

Oxygen mass in the sample = 0.165 - 0.11 - 0.018588 = 0.036412 g  

The molar mass of oxygen is 15.999 g/mol.

Moles of O  = 0.036412  / 15.999  = 0.002276 moles

Taking the simplest ratio for H, O, and C yields:

0.01844: 0.002276: 0.009157

= 8: 1: 4

The empirical formula becomes C_4H_8O

While molecular formulas detail the precise count of atoms for each element, empirical formulas represent the simplest form or reduced ratio of these elements in the compound.

Consequently,  

The molecular mass equals n × Empirical mass.

Here, n is a positive integer from 1, 2, 3...

Empirical mass = 4×12 + 8×1 + 16 = 72 g/mol.

Molar mass = 144 g/mol.

Thus,  

The molecular mass = n × Empirical mass.

144 = n × 72

⇒ n = 2

The Valproic acid formula is = C_8H_{16}O_2

Acetone major species present when dissolved in water
Alekssandra [968]

The compound is acetone ( CH₃-CO-CH₃)


Explanation:


1) Acetone is represented as CH₃-CO-CH₃.


2) This is a molecule formed by covalent bonds.


3) When it dissolves, compounds with covalent bonds remain as individual molecules, indicating that the primary species in the solution are the molecules themselves, which are surrounded (solvated) by water molecules.


In contrast, ionic compounds ionize. For example, when NaCl dissolves in water, it completely breaks down into ions, hence the predominant species are the ions Na⁺ and Cl⁻, rather than the NaCl formula.


This leads to the conclusion that: when acetone dissolves in water, the primary components are the acetone molecules (there is no need to mention that water molecules are in the solution, as that isn't the question's focus).

In how many grams of water should 25.31 g of potassium nitrate (kno3) be dissolved to prepare a 0.1982 m solution?
lions [985]

Solution:

Molality measures the concentration of a solute in a solution, defined by the amount of solute per specific mass of solvent.

Thus,

Molality = moles of solute / kg of solvent.

Therefore, kg of solvent = moles of solute / molality.

moles of solute = mass / molar mass

= 25.31 g / 101.1 g/mole

= 0.2503 mole.

kg of solvent = 0.2503 mole / 0.1982 m

= 1.263 kg

= 1263 g.

This is the final answer.
