A tubular-bowl centrifuge is used to concentrate a suspension of genetically-engineered yeast containing a new recombinant protein. At a speed of 12 000 rpm, the centrifuge treats 3 l broth min-1 with satisfactory results. It is proposed to use the same centrifuge to separate cell debris from homogenate produced by mechanical disruption of the yeast. If the average size of the debris is one-third that of the yeast and the viscosity of the homogenate is five times greater than the cell suspension, what flow rate can be handled if the centrifuge is operated at the same speed? _____________________

When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, the component atoms of the NaCl crystal dissociate into individual sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In contrast, the atoms of covalently bonded molecules (e.g., glucose, sucrose, glycerol) do not generally dissociate when placed in aqueous solution. Which of the following solutions would be expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles (molecules or ions)?
