  2. BWhat is suggested as the best measure to report the density of a dense laboratory culture of bacteria in a petri dish?
  3. CWhat is suggested as the best measure to report the density of a dense laboratory culture of bacteria in a petri dish?
  4. DWhat is suggested as the best measure to report the density of a dense laboratory culture of bacteria in a petri dish?

Correct answer

A. What is suggested as the best measure to report the density of a dense laboratory culture of bacteria in a petri dish?

Step-by-step solution

According to the ideal equation,

PV=nRTPV = nRT

In the given V‐TV ‐ T diagram,

In process x→yx \to y, V∝TV ∝ T. So, the process is isobaric process.

In process y→zy \to z, V=V = constant. So, the process is an isochoric process.

In process z→xz \to x, T=T = constant. So, the process is an isothermal process.

Analyzing using the ideal gas equation in each process, the P‐VP ‐ V graph can be drawn as shown below,

A thermodynamic cycle xyzx is shown on a V - T diagram. The P - V diagram that best describes this cycle is: (Diagrams
