Asked by HELP PLEASE
                Suppose that you place exactly 100 bacteria into a flask containing nutrients for the bacteria and that you find the following data at 37 °C:
TIme (s) number of bacteria
0 100
19 200
38 400
57 800
76 1600
what is the rate order?
What is rate constant?
how many bacteria will be present after 171 mins?

    Notice that this doubles every 19 minutes (second or whatever). You can graph these data and you get a straight line which makes it first order. Since it is 1st order you can use
ln(No/N) = kt and solve for k, the rate constant.
    
ln(No/N) = kt and solve for k, the rate constant.
