Under ideal conditions a certain bacteria population is known to double every 2 hours. suppose there are initially 500 bacteria. 1. what is the size of the population after 6 hours?2. what is the size of the population after t hours?3. estimate the size of the population after 19 hours.

A)4000bacteria b) 500*2^(t/2) c) 362039 bacteria

Explanation:

The bacteria population doubles every 2hrs.

Initial population = 500 bacteria

After 6hours, it will undergo 3 generations since

6hours /2hrs = 3.

That means it has doubled its population three times

Initial is 500

After 2hrs = 1000bacteria, 4hrs = 2000 bacteria,

6hrs = 4000 bacteria

B) after 2hrs, the population is 500*2^1,

After 4hrs, the population is 500* 2^2,

After 6hrs, the population is 500*2^3

Which is the same as 500*2^(6/2)

Then after t hours, the population is 500*2^(t/2)

C) after 19 hours, the populations = 500*2^(19/2)

= 362038.67 approx 362039 bacteria

in a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules produced by the reaction are called products. no new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. in a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.
