The phenol concentration of wastewater was determined from three (3) parallel determinations, giving a mean of 0.513 μg L-1 and a standard deviation of 0.05 μg L-1. Decide at a risk level of 5% (or a confidence level of 95%) whether a reference value of 0.520 μg L-1 is statistically different.
Please do not give solution in image format thanku The desired final population of a microbial population is a probability of 0.00058. If the initial population is 5 x10^4 and the survival of the population is described by a D(subscript)121=1.5 min,and a z=11C,estimate the time required to reach the desired probability at 110C.
Hi, can you please elaborate about this: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) background of the chemical (uses of this chemical, occurance [natural or man-made], safe vs danger-level exposure concentrations, acute or chronic toxicity, etc) 2) Does this chemical bioaccumulate? if so, why? If not, why not? Also discuss biotransformation of the chemical. 3) Effects on local wildlife, with a specific documented example of harmful exposure with this toxin. Document how clean-up would occur (if it could) and where storage of the toxin would happened...for how long...then what would be done with it? Generate numerical figures on yearly generation of this substance (what amount is made or generated whether naturally or by man-made process), and how is disposed of yearly.
You can determine the Z-value for both organisms by calculating the temperature change required to reduce the D value by 1 log cycle. (Observations: Notice the difference in the two organisms. One has a steeper downward slope, but is offset higher. It is slightly more heat-tolerant, but slightly more susceptible to increases in temperature.) Question: Raw milk can be contaminated by several common pathogenic bacteria (i.e. Staphylococcus, M. tuberculosis) and therefore must be pasteurized. Your goal is to find the minimum temperature and time required to destroy these organisms. If you know the Z-values for staphylococcus and M. tuberculosis, do you have enough information to set the appropriate heating parameters?
what is k and r for each condition? K (carrying capacity): can be estimated by finding the point where the growth curve levels off. Take the average of this data point and all data collected beyond this point to estimate k (note: if the bacteria population is still growing, you can just take the last value of data for k. r: choose any two points at the log phase of growth. Then use the r formula. Just choose two waste conditions for r and k calculation so I can get the idea of how to do this, thanks.

(Please give clear handwritten answer) A medium containing an abundance of substrate was seeded with 20 mg/L VSS of an active mixed culture. After 8.0 hours, the VSS concentration was measured at 590 mg/L. Data indicate that there was a lag time of 0.5 hours. Assuming log growth, what is the average generation time of this culture?
From the given situations, explain whether its solution requires a qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, characterization analysis, and/or fundamental analysis. More than one type of analysis can be applied for some problems. 1. The structure of a mutated coronavirus strain found in the Philippines needs to be determined. 2. The residents of a prominent subdivision in Iloilo near a waste disposal site are concerned that it is leaking contaminants into their groundwater. 3. The Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Art (ILOMOCA) is concerned that the recently acquired oil painting is not authentic. 4. The Iloilo International Airport needs more reliable scanner for detecting explosive materials in luggage. 5. An oil spill in Barrio Obrero last July 2020 leaked around 250,000 L of fuel reached the neighboring towns and the island of Guimaras.
