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

valkas [14]

Answer:

Three things that rely on the sun for energy is coal,oil, and natural gases

Explanation:

We use engery too cook our food that's an example of how gases are used.

We run our cars .Cars use oil.

And we use electricity for lights. You need coal for the electricity

A mixture of helium and methane gases, at a total pressure of 821 mm Hg, contains 0.723 grams of helium and 3.43 grams of methan
Nookie1986 [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The partial pressure of helium is 376 mmHg and that of methane gas is 445 mmHg

<u>For 2:</u> The mole fraction of nitrogen gas is 0.392 and that of carbon dioxide gas is 0.608

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>For 1:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For helium:</u>

Given mass of helium = 0.723 g

Molar mass of helium = 4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of helium}=\frac{0.723g}{4g/mol}=0.181mol

  • <u>For methane gas:</u>

Given mass of methane gas = 3.43 g

Molar mass of methane gas = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of methane gas}=\frac{3.43g}{16g/mol}=0.214mol

To calculate the mole fraction , we use the equation:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}     .......(2)

To calculate the partial pressure of gas, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{A}=p_T\times \chi_{A}       ......(3)

  • <u>For Helium gas:</u>

We are given:

n_{He}=0.181mol\\n_{CH_4}=0.214mol

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

\chi_{He}=\frac{0.181}{0.181+0.214}=0.458

Calculating the partial pressure by using equation 3, we get:

p_T=821mmHg\\\\\chi_{He}=0.458

Putting values in equation 3, we get:

p_{He}=0.458\times 821mmHg=376mmHg

  • <u>For Methane gas:</u>

We are given:

n_{He}=0.181mol\\n_{CH_4}=0.214mol

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

\chi_{CH_4}=\frac{0.214}{0.181+0.214}=0.542

Calculating the partial pressure by using equation 3, we get:

p_T=821mmHg\\\\\chi_{CH_4}=0.542

Putting values in equation 3, we get:

p_{CH_4}=0.542\times 821mmHg=445mmHg

Hence, the partial pressure of helium is 376 mmHg and that of methane gas is 445 mmHg

  • <u>For 2:</u>

We are given:

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas = 363 mmHg

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas = 564 mmHg

Total pressure = (363 + 564) mmHg = 927 mmHg

Calculating the mole fraction of the gases by using equation 3:

<u>For nitrogen gas:</u>

363=\chi_{N_2}\times 927\\\\\chi_{N_2}=\frac{363}{927}=0.392

<u>For carbon dioxide gas:</u>

564=\chi_{CO_2}\times 927\\\\\chi_{CO_2}=\frac{564}{927}=0.608

Hence, the mole fraction of nitrogen gas is 0.392 and that of carbon dioxide gas is 0.608
