Consider a batch culture of bacteria with empirical biomass formula CH 1.6 O 0.55 N 0.20 (MWB = 25.2 g/mole).

The bioreactor is a closed, rigid vessel into which liquid medium containing 10 mmol glucose (C6H12O6) and an excess of ammonium sulfate is added. The headspace contained humidified air initially. After some time, during which a net growth of 0.3 g dry cell weight was achieved, the headspace gas was analyzed. After accounting for the appropriate liquid concentration of O2 in equilibrium with the headspace, it was found that a total of 15 mmol O2 was consumed.

This organism secretes no appreciable amounts of product under these conditions.

a. Estimate the yield coefficient of substrate, Y X/S (g DCW/mole glucose) and the final amount of glucose in the medium (mmol).

b. Estimate how much CO2 was produced (mmol).

Achemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. he carefully weighs out of oxalic acid , a diprotic acid that can be purchased inexpensively in high purity, and dissolves it in of distilled water. the student then titrates the oxalic acid solution with his sodium hydroxide solution. when the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds he has used of sodium hydroxide solution. calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
