A student made an initial 1:5 dilution of protein lysate. Then 2mL of that was added to 8mL of water. Lastly, the student made a

1:20 dilution of the second tube. What is the final dilution of protein lysate.

Answer:

The final dilution is 1:400

Explanation:

Let's analyze what we are told: we have an initial 1:5 dilution of protein lysate. This means that the initial solution (stock solution) was diluted 5 times. Then, from this dilution the student prepared another dilution taking 2 mL of the first dilution in 8 mL of water. This is the same as saying we took 1 mL of first dilution in 4 mL of water (the ratio is the same), so we now have a second 1:4 dilution of the first dilution (1:5). Finally, the student made a third 1:20 dilution, this means that the second dilution was further diluted 20 times.

So, to calculate the final dilution of protein lysate, we have to multiply all the dilution factors of every dilution prepared: in this case we have a final dilution of 1:20, this means we have a factor dilution of 20. But it was previously diluted 4 times, so we have a factor dilution of 20×4 = 80. However, this dilution was also previously diluted 5 times, so the new dilution factor is 80 × 5 = 400

This means that the final dilution of the compound was diluted a total of 400 times compared to the initial concentration of stock solution.

naturally occurring bromine molecules, br2 have masses of 158, 160, and 162. they occur in the relative abundances 25.69%, 49.99
4vir4ik [10]
The average atomic mass of an element can be determined by multiplying the individual masses of the isotopes with their respective relative abundances, and adding them. 

Average atomic mass of Br = 158 amu(0.2569) + 160 amu(0.4999) + 162 amu(0.2431)
Average atomic mass = 159.96 amu

As described in the problem, the relative abundance for Br-79 is 25.69%. This is because 2 atoms of Br is equal to 79*2 = 158 amu. Similarly, the relative abundance of Br-81 is 81*2 = 162, which is 24.31%.
