Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The units of the specific growth rate should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The growth of cells in a bioreactor is defined as the function,
Where X is the concentration of cells at any time t, X0 is the starting concentration of cells and µ is the specific growth rate.
It is assumed that the given equation is valid and therefore dimensionally homogeneous. So, the dimension of the left hand side and right hand side of the equation is equal. In addition, the exp () component is dimensionless.
(b)
Interpretation:
Give two ways to plot the data so as to obtain a straight line.
Concept introduction:
The growth of cells in a bioreactor is defined as the function,
Where X is the concentration of cells at any time t, X0 is the starting concentration of cells and µ is the specific growth rate.
(c)
Interpretation:

Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that a 0.0965-g portion of this sample loses 0.0574 g over a temperature range of 50-75 oC and then loses another 0.0124 g at 800 oC.(i) What causes the weight loss at 50-75 oC? (ii) What species will remain after being heated to 800 oC? (iii) What is the composition of the original sample? Given: Atomic masses: H = 1.008; C = 12.011; N = 14.007; Na = 22.99; O = 15.999;Cl = 35.45.arrow_forwardSodium carbonate is a reagent that may be used to standardize acids in the same way that you have used KHP in this experiment. In such a standardization it was found that a 0.498-g sample of sodium carbonate required 24.8 mLmL mL of a sulfuric acid solution to reach the end point for the reaction.

- You have just started working in an Urgent Care Clinic as a nurse. Mom brings in her 3 year old little boy, Brandon. Mom states that Brandon has been having fever up to 104F and he isn't eating or drinking anything because he feels very sick to his stomach, not to mention crabby! He's also been pulling a lot at his right ear and sounds congested. At the last well visit with the Pediatrician (about 2 weeks ago), Mom states that Brandon weighed 32 pounds. On exam today, his weight is 12.5 kg. Additionally his eyes are darkened and sunken, his mouth is dry with some white crusting around the lips. His temperature is 39C, other vitals signs are normal. Though he looks ill he appears to be medically stable. The doctor rushes in, quickly exams Brandon, diagnoses him with otitis media and then barks off orders to you that you then need to convey accurately to Mom. The orders include: push fluids, ibuprofen 10mg/kg every 6 hours if temp > 38C, and begin taking a 10-day course of…arrow_forwardThe progress of the reaction between Iodine ions and potassium iodate(V) can be followed by withstanding samples of the reaction mixture at various times, quenching and then titrating with standard thiosulphate solution. The reaction equation is: I(aq) + IO3(aq) + 6H+(aq) + 4e ➡ I2(aq) + 3H2O(l) In one such experiment the following data were obtained.

A Chem 28 student determined the purity gravimetrically of a sample of alum, K2SO4:Al2(SO4)3:24H20. A 1.5879-g sample was dissolved and the aluminum precipitated as Al(OH)3. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed, and ignited to give a product Al203 weighing 0.1572 g. Show your calculation to determine the purity of the alum sample.arrow_forwardOne technique for studying the energetics of protein structure is to monitor the struc- ture of the protein as a function of the osmotic pressure. In these experiments the os- motic pressure of the solution is varied by using polymers of different molecular weight and concentration. In an experiment poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with a molecular weight of 1000.0 g mol- was used. What concentration of PEG is needed to create an aqueous solution with an osmotic pressure of 150.0 Pa at 25°C? You may assume that PEG is uncharged and that it does not dissociate or aggregate.arrow_forward
