Serial dilution problem: Six test tubes are placed in a rack. To each tube add 4 mL of saline solution. Now to the first tube ad

d 0.5 mL of concentrated protein (10 M) and mix well. Then transfer 1 mL of tube # 1 to tube # 2 and mix well. 1 mL of the contents of tube # 2 is then transferred to tube # 3, and the procedure is repeated for the remaining tubes. What is the dilution factor and molar concentration of protein in tube # 4? Show your answer by drawing 6 tubes and label them.

Answer:

The dilution factor of protein in tube # 4 is 125. Molar concentration is 0.0088 M protein

Explanation:

The dilution factor indicates how many times is more concentrated a main solution in relationship with a diluted solution. In this case, the main solution is in tube #1. For calculating the dilution factor and molar concentration in tube #4 we need the main solution concentration which comes from next equation:

Initial volume * initial concentration = final volume * final concentration

0.5 mL * 10M = 5mL * final concentration

1.1 M = final concentration = main solution concentration

Applying the same equation for remain tubes we have 0.22 M for tube #2, 0.044 M for tube # 4 and 0.0088 for tube # 4.

Dilution factor = Main solution concentration/tube 4 concentration

Dilution factor = 1.1/0.0088 = 125

I hope my answer helps you

How many grams of H2O are produced when 35.0 g of NaOH reacts with 17.5 g of CO,?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

2NaOH + CO2 -> Na2CO3 + H2O

1) Find the moles of each substance

\eq n(NaOH)=\frac{35.0}{22.99+16.00+1.008\\}\  =\frac{35.0}{39.998} \ = 0.8750437522 moles\\n(CO_{2} ) = \frac{17.5}{12.01+32.00} = \frac{17.5}{44.01} = 0.3976369007 moles\\

2) Determine the limitting reagent

\\NaOH = \frac{0.8750437522}{2} = 0.4375218761\\\\

∴ Carbon dioxide is limitting as it has a smaller value.

3) multiply the limiting reagent by the mole ratio of unknown over known

n(H2O ) = 0.3976369007 × 1/2

             = 0.1988184504 moles

4) Multiply the number of moles by the molar mass of the substance.

m = 0.1988184504 × (1.008 × 2 + 16.00)

   = 0.1988184504 × 18.016

   = 3.581913202 g

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The  correct option is  c

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the reaction of  Z-4,5-dimethyloct-4-ene and HCl is shown on the first uploaded image

Now looking at the product we see that there are two who has four different groups attached to them this carbon are known as chiral carbons hence the product formed is a pair of diastereomers

Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which forms.
vichka [17]

The radius of the cation is much smaller than the corresponding neutral atom.(b) The radius of an anion is much larger than the corresponding neutral atom.Explanation:The size of the atom or ion is inversely proportional to the nuclear charge experienced by the electrons.(a)The size of the cation is smaller than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. This is because after removal of an electron from the highest principle energy level the nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons increases resulting in the decrease in size.(b)The size of an anion is larger than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. In an anion, an extra electron is added to the highest principle energy level but the effective nuclear charge pulling the electrons towards the nucleus is still same. The net effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons present in the outermost shell decrease. Moreover, due to the added electron, the repulsion between the electrons also increases resulting in the increase in size

What is the most important use of an elements atomic number
Setler [38]

Answer:

Atoms of each element contain a characteristic number of protons and electrons. The number of protons determines an element's atomic number and is used to distinguish one element from another.
