Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.34P
2.34. You arrive at your lab at 8 a.m. and add an indeterminate quantity of bacterial cells to a flask. At 11 a.m. you measure the number of cells using a spectrophotometer (the absorbance of light is directly related to the number of cells) and determine from a previous calibration that the flask contains 3850 cells, and at 5 p.m. the cell count has reached 36,530.
- Fit each of the following formulas to the two given data points (that is, determine the values of the two constants in each formula): linear growth, C = Co + kt; exponential growth, C = Coe*'; power-law growth, C = ktb. In these expressions, Co is the initial cell concentration and k and b arc constants.
- Select the most reasonable of the three formulas and justify your selection.
- Estimate the initial number of cells present at 8 a.m. (/ = 0). State any assumptions you make.
- The culture needs to be split into two equal parts once the number of cells reaches 2 million. Estimate the time at which you would have to come back to perform this task. State any assumptions you make. If this is a routine operation that you must perform often, what does your result suggest about the scheduling of the experiment?

Log Nt = Log N0 – t/D. D is the time required for a log kill.
Levels of bacterial cells in the water supply must be undetectable, which, in terms of the equation, is <1 per mL of drinking water. A single addition of chlorine yields a log kill every 5 minutes. During a storm, levels in the incoming water reach 10,000/mL. You hold the incoming water in a treatment tank and give it a single hit with chlorine. If you add the chemical at 10 a.m., when will it be safe to open the valve and release that water for drinking?
What is Donnan's theory? What is its importance in biophysical chemistry?
A student calibrated a eudiometer by first recording the mass of the empty eudiometer followed by filling the eudiometer to the 50.00 mL line with deionized water at 22°C and recorded the mass. The mass of water was 49.012 g.
What measured reading from the eudiometer would correspond to a true volume of 47.89mL?

Dieldrin has a half-life of about 6 months, a volume of distribution of about 40 L/kg, and a dermal permeability of about 3 x 10° cm/sec.

(b) Estimate how it takes after exposure begins for the groundskeeper's plasma dieldrin levels to reach 1 ng/L. (c) Estimate the maximum plasma dieldrin concentration in ng/L that will occur in this groundskeeper due to this exposure.
