Answer:

16-fold dilution.

Explanation:

A serial dilution is any dilution where the concentration decrease by the same quantity in each successive step. So, for a 2-fold dilution, the concentration decrease 1/2, it means that if we have a sample with 10 M of concentration, after a 2-fold dilution it will be 5 M. For the next step it will be 1/2 of 5= 2.5 M, and successively.

Then, we just multiply the factor for each dilution. After 4 serial dilutions:

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16

So, it would be a 16-fold dilution in the end.

To determine the name of an anion, you take the name of its element and replace the end with "ide".

<h3>What is an anion?</h3>

An anion in chemistry is a negatively charged ion.

Anions are usually formed when a non-metallic atom gains electron(s).

An anion is usually named by taking the elemental name, removing the ending, and adding “ide.

Examples of anions are as follows:

  • fluoride (F-)
  • Chloride (Cl-)
  • Iodide (I-)

Identify the statement that correctly describes light and how it travels? (2 points)
schepotkina [342]

Light does not travel at a constant speed in a vacuum, compared to in air, because the light is being absorbed by atoms and molecules in the air. But light does travel at a constant speed in a vacuum.
So I agree with A
