One of your fellow classmates got sick after drinking coca cola (with ice) from a soda fountain at a local fast food restaurant. He claims that toilet water is cleaner than the ice cubes that are dispensed from the machine at the restaurant. What organisms do you think causes contamination of ice dispensers? How could you test the water and conclude which water is "cleaner"? Show your work by creating appropriate dilution schemes a. b. MacBook AirExplanation / Answer
1.
To make a fixed amount of a dilute solution from a stock solution, you can use the formula: C1V1 = C2V2 where:
Using Dilution Factors
To make a dilute solution without calculating concentrations, you can rely on a derivation of the above formula:
(Final Volume / Solute Volume) = Dilution Factor (can also be used with mass)
Step Dilutions
If the dilution factor is larger than the final volume needed, or the amount of stock is too small to be pipetted, one or more intermediary dilutions may be required. Use the formula: Final DF = DF1 * DF2 * DF3 etc., to choose your step dilutions such that their product is the final dilution.

3. Bacteria
collect both samples and perform serial dilutions for each sample, then spread the samples in 2 different nutrient media containing petri dish, observed after 24 hours you will find a number of colonies formed in toilet water sample which was spread.
