A 10-6 is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the dilution, *0.1 mL* of solution is plated on solid media, and 266 colonies of bacteria grow on the plate. Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture? Express your answer to two decimal places using exponential notation. • Since only 0.1 mL is put on the plate, this counts as an extra dilution!!! Any time less than 1 mL is transfered, a dilution is being performed. Any time more than 1 mL is transfered, a concentration is being performed.

There's 1 drink (and you are asked to determine the glucose concentration in the drink in the units of g/100mL. (Why these units? Well, once you have the concentrations in g/100mL you will be able to compare your values with the nutritional values given on the drink bottles’ labels). The sample of the drink was diluted 1/100 (i.e. by a factor of 100). This was an essential step in the method because, without it, the machine used to analyse the glucose concentration (spectrophotometer) would have given an error as the concentration would have been too high for accurate detection. What this means for you is that the dilution factor will need to be taken into consideration in your calculations (remember the aim is to calculate the concentration in the original drink and not in the diluted drink). You measured the concentration of their diluted drink using the spectrophotometer and their results were provided to them in the units mM (millimolar). Glucose Concentration in mM of drink =…

Let me tell you about their task: The students were provided with 5 drinks (sports/soft drinks) and they were asked to determine the glucose concentration in these drinks in the units of g/100mL. (Why these units? Well, once the students have the concentrations in g/100mL they will be able to compare their values with the nutritional values given on the drink bottles’ labels). The samples of the five drinks were all diluted 1/100 (i.e. by a factor of 100). This was an essential step in the method because, without it, the machine used to analyse the glucose concentration (spectrophotometer) would have given an error as the concentration would have been too high for accurate detection. What this means for the students is that the dilution factor will have to be taken into consideration in their calculations (remember the aim is to calculate the concentration in the original drink and not in the diluted drink). The students decided to save time and form five groups where each group was…
To determine the organic material in a dried lake bed, the percent carbon by mass is measured at two different locations. To compare the means of the two different locations, it must first be determined whether the standard deviations of the two locations are different.

A chemical industry discharges a waste contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) to the city sewer system. By law, the concentration of TCE must be 1 mg/L or less. To enforce this law, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) conducts random testing. The chief environmental engineer for the chemical company knows that the mean TCE concentration in the waste is 0.064 mg/L, and the standard deviation is 0.022 mg/L. The TCE concentration can be assumed to be a normal random variable. What is the probability that the company will fail a random test by the DEC? [In other words, the probability that a random sample will have TCE > 0.1 mg/L.] Show your work and draw a labeled sketch to show what area of the normal distribution curve you used to solve the problem. What is the probability that the company will fail two consecutive random tests? The tests can be assumed to be independent of each other. Show your work. Determine the concentration of TCE that is exceeded only 10%…
If an instrument gives a response of 1240 for a standard containing 8 ppm of a substance, how much if this substance is in a sample that gives a response of 1705? Are any assumptions needed?
To determine the organic material in a dried lake bed, the percent carbon by mass is measured at two different locations. To compare the means of the two different locations, it must first be determined whether the standard deviations of the two locations are different. For each location, calculate the standard deviation and report it with two significant figures. What is the calculated F value for comparing the standard deviations? Are the standard deviations for the two locations significantly different at the 95% confidence level? ample Location 1 (% C) Location 2 (% C) 1 10.40 10.10 2 10.30 10.90 3 10.30 10.20 4 10.40 10.70 5 10.30 10.30

The concentration of purified OXA-M290 is tested with a BCA assay. Serial dilutions of a bovine serum albumin (BSA) stock solution are prepared, then pipetted into a 96-well plate; each dilution of the BSA standard is tested in triplicate. Then, bicinchoninic acid and Cu2+ ions are added to all of the wells of the plate. After incubating the plate for 1 hour, a microplate reader is used to measure the absorbance of all of the wells in the plate at 560 nm. This generates the following data: BSA conc.
