Pseudomonas sp. has a mass doubling time of 2.4 h when grown on acetate. the saturation constant using this substrate is 1.3 g/l, and cell yield on acetate is 0.46 g cell/g acetate. if we operate a chemostat on a feed stream containing 38 g/l acetate, find the following (assume monod kinetics):

find the following:

a. maximum dilution rate

b. cell concentration when the dilution rate is one-half of the maximum

c. substrate concentration when the dilution rate is 0.8 dmax

d. cell productivity at 0.8 dmax

What best explains whether bromine (br) or neon (ne) is more likely to form a covalent bond? bromine forms covalent bonds because it has seven valence electrons, but neon has eight valence electrons and already fulfills the octet rule. bromine forms covalent bonds because it has many electron shells, but neon has only two electron shells and is tightly bound to its electrons. neon forms covalent bonds because it can share its valence electrons, but bromine has seven valence electrons and can gain only one more electron. neon forms covalent bonds because it has only two electron shells, but bromine has many electron shells and will lose electrons in order to fulfill the octet rule.
