Question
1. Mosquito population is at 100 now and has an intrinsic growth rate of 0.55. What will the population be in 2 months?
2.Write the acid / base mechanism for the reaction between the following compounds, one of which is an acid and the other a base.
a. CH3C(O)CH2C(O)H with NaOH
b. NaCCCH2CH3 with the most acidic hydrogen from
3.Calculate the Keq for both of the reactions above and explain what it means for your reaction. Show your work. While the structures may not be present on our pKa table, if it is not, use at least two compounds from our pKa table that you judge to be most similar to the compounds, explaining your answer.
Explanation / Answer
(1)
Nt = No e^rt
Log Nt= logNo + rt
where,
Nt = population size at time t; No = original population size, r = intrinsic rate of increase and
t =time
Log Nt = log 100 + 0.55 x 0.166
Log Nt=2+0.091
Nt=Antilog 2.0913
Nt=123
Population in two months would be 123
